3.0

The concept is super interesting and unique, and is definitely one of the more creative concepts I've seen from a dystopia. That said, I wished that Shusterman spent more time on world building, especially since there was clearly so much to unpack in the book. Also, the book tried too hard to play to both pro-life and pro-choice audiences, and it made the whole book seem a bit shallow and redundant and made the characters' conflicts seem less impactful. Great idea, but the execution is lacking.
