Welcome to Litsy!

“I liked imagining F‘s world, … its appreciation for pies, its competent mariners and tonking diesels.”

LOVE all the pie references and this is now in the running for my annual Pie in Literature award 🏆

Good enough to make me want to read the original novel and watch the TV series

This feels like a story that could happen soon if the tech bros and the government want it to happen. Technology is used to determine if they can stop crime from occurring by tapping into your dreams & thoughts. If you are determined to be a threat, off you go to a facility and at that point you best hope you can get out of there. This book was freaky, unsettling, frustrating and had me hurrying through chores in order to pick it up to finish it.

Picked off a few books #OffTheShelf2025 (granted, some of these were new purchases)

Our main protagonist is Ana. She's 18 and lives in a future where society is pretty much controlled by the pharmaceutical industry and the people are split into two main groups.

Those with mental health issues are outcasts who are registered with the government and are force fed medication 'for their own good'. Their world is unsafe, unstable and damn right hard.

Meanwhile the 'pure' people live in a world full of luxury and safety.

At one point I forgot who this was about and then I went Oh. Dang.
