From critically acclaimed author Cindy Pon comes an edge-of-your-seat sci-fi thriller, set in a near-future Taipei plagued by pollution, about a group of teens who risk everything to save their city.

Jason Zhou survives in a divided society where the elite use their wealth to buy longer lives. The rich wear special suits, protecting them from the pollution and viruses that plague the city, while those without suffer illness and early deaths. Frustrated by his city’s corruption and still grieving the loss of his mother who died as a result of it, Zhou is determined to change things, no matter the cost.

With the help of his friends, Zhou infiltrates the lives of the wealthy in hopes of destroying the international Jin Corporation from within. Jin Corp not only manufactures the special suits the rich rely on, but they may also be manufacturing the pollution that makes them necessary.

Yet the deeper Zhou delves into this new world of excess and wealth, the more muddled his plans become. And against his better judgment, Zhou finds himself falling for Daiyu, the daughter of Jin Corp’s CEO. Can Zhou save his city without compromising who he is, or destroying his own heart?

Eerily Realistic Dystopian Novel

I think the narrator is very talented and brought depth and emotion to the story. His pronunciation for all the Mandarin was also on point, with a perfect Taiwanese accent, except ... I just cannot understand how you'd pronounce everything else right, EXCEPT the main character's name. "Zhou" can be pronounced "Joe" in a northern Chinese accent or "Zoh" in a southern Chinese (or Taiwanese) accent, but why would you butcher it by pronouncing it "Zow"? Especially when you've demonstrated you can pronounce Mandarin just fine? It was just so jarring to hear that throughout the whole book.

Great narration, except a tiny detail

This book was a bit of a weird one. I was really torn on if I actually like it. The only reason it received 4/5 stars was Daiyu was actually far smarter at the end than she was at the beginning. Jason was pretty boring and the story was relatively predictable.

Torn, but enjoyed it.
