Synopsis: THE WORLD OF UGLIES, SET IN OUR NOT-SO-DISTANT FUTURE,is a complex place filled with bubbly technology and lingo, yet bogus rules about status and appearance. That's why a guide to the world of uglies has been requisitioned from the hole in the wall. Inside you'll find:
A rundown on all the cliques, from Crims and Cutters to tech-heads and surge-monkeys
The complete history, starting with the destruction of the oil bug to the launch of Extras in space
How all those awesome gadgets came to be: hoverboards, eyescreens, skintennas, sneak suits...
PLUS an exclusive look at Scott Westerfeld's first draft of Extras -- starring Hiro, not Aya.
And so much more, it's mind-wrecking.
Review: Oh. My. God. I loved this dictionary-like book! I loved seeing all the detail that went into this series and it just made my uglies loving heart soar! The details are fantastic and everything is so well explained.
However, I feel like there could be more and I’m a bit sad that some of the later cultures aren’t included in this book.
Verdict: I still love this series.
