As the best dystopia always is, itās a very real-feeling vision of where the current prison industrial complex is heading, as criminals (āLinksā) are pitted against each other to the death gladiator-style with the promise of freedom if they survive for three years.Ā
The narrative is dynamic and compelling, as we switch between POVs of several Links, protestors, viewers, and businessmen. The writing style is incredible, with every sentence carrying weight. The chapters are also interspersed with facts from modern-day America about the death penalty, incarceration rates, police violence, and more.Ā
This book is timely and educational, and I think would be great for those who want to take baby steps into the world of prison abolition without diving in to a non-fiction text.Ā

If I were still a high school teacher, Iād assign this book. It manages to be both a condemnation of the AmericanĀ prison industrial complex and a poem about violence, repair, suffering, & ethics.Ā
As comprehensive a story about abolition as I have read in a while. Iāll be thinking of Loretta & Hamara for a long time.Ā
