Ken-Me-Old-Mate | Sep 24, 2020 |  This was interesting but I didn't really like it. A proper dystopia as per Huxley and Orwell, the uncomfortable feeling of crowd thinking, and dumbing down being the main theme. It just all felt a bit cardboard, I didn't believe in any of the characters and didn't really follow Jael 97's story although there were a lot of points worthy of consideration.

'You'll never be happy until you can think and feel and look like other people' Jael 97 is an Alpha. Deemed over-privileged for her beauty, she is compelled to report to the Ministry of Facial Justice, where her face will be reconstructed. For Jael lives in the New State, created out of the devastation of the Third World War. Under the rule of the Darling Dictator, citizens must wear sackcloth and ashes, and only a 17.5% quotum of personality is permitted to each. Anything that inspires envy is forbidden. But Jael cannot suppress her rebellious spirit. Secretly, she starts to reassert the rights of the individual, and decides to hunt down the faceless Dictator. 'An exquisitely entertaining fantasy.'
