Publisher's Synopsis
In a near-future world, everyone is equal, but no one is free. Citizens are forced to wear government-approved 'equality suits' that mask their gender, skin color, voice, as well as other characteristics in order to ensure that no one is discriminated against. An underground movement rebels against the government-enforced mandates, enlisting to their cause those who yearn for true freedom of expression. One young citizen, Tamika Usarian, tired of always having to hide their true identity and yearning for the freedom of their youth, joins the movement and unwittingly starts a chain of events that will change their life and the lives of millions of others in unexpected ways.
Evoking the spirit of Veronica Roth's Divergent and Ally Condie's Matched, this creative and inspiring novel brings an enlightening perspective to the equality and identity challenges being faced by our present society, showing a vision of what could be our own future if we choose to ignore the lessons of this insightful tale.
