Quatrième de couverture :
Welcome to your worst nightmare,
or maybe one you can't even imagine.
A world where everything has changed.
There are no books, no movies,
no music, no free speech.
Everyone under eighteen is distrusted.
You and your family could be taken
away and imprisoned at any time.
Your very being is expendable,
even unwanted.
What world is this? Where could
something like this have happened?
That's hardly the point.
The point is that it did happen.
It's happening to us right now.
And if you don't stop and pay attention,
it could happen in your world next.
