Join The Future

JOIN THE FUTURE by Zack Kaplan

The Future. Ultra-modern megacities reward millions of their citizens with a completely funded life, with every need met, from food to housing and healthcare, in order to compete in an economic power struggle in which population is key. But a few rural residents still cling to their independence in what last American small towns are left. When a nearby megacity pressures the people of a small town join up or else, a young teenage girl named Clem will learn how far she'll go to defend her principles.

This is a great new series that reminds me a lot of 1984 with a modern twist. It also feels very timely as our country is becoming more and more split between rural towns and big cities. I suggest reading if dystopian futures are a favorite genre of yours.
