Sinopsis

Betrayal isn't always bad. Sometimes it can lead exactly where you need to be. But then again, maybe not.

In the year 2113, the population is out of control, and anyone reaching their twenty-ninth birthday is being “recycled.” So, the minute Jeff turns twenty-eight, he knows his time is coming to an end.

Does he run away? Plead for mercy? Fight back? No. Jeff just wants to get laid. Fortunately for him, there are clubs for that, clubs specifically for those whose clocks are ticking down to the minute where they voluntarily walk into a recycling chamber.

When he meets Tanya and she says she wants to shag a thirty-year-old, well, let's say his military training kicks in. But not in the way you think. This is bigger. Life changing. Dangerous, as in real death. In a single night, he’ll learn how badly his world is broken. And if he can fix it.

If you like Logan's Run, you'll love Born Again.


Reseñas Varias sobre este libro



Immediate revolution used to be the plan, but stability has its own inertia, you know?

What a gem of a story I found in "Born Again," a dystopian short by new-to-me author Jon Griffin. In about 50 pages or so, Griffin creates a world where people are 'recycled' at the age of 30, to be born again as an infant and a chance to start over. What what if you second-guessed the incinerators and the promise that you retain consciousness? What if you discovered an alternative?

And what if that alternative was just as bad?

Welcome to the revolution. If there is one. 2020-april-reading-challenges dystopian1 Melissa Bishop8 2
