UnWind by Neil Schusterman

Unwind is sci fi which I do not normally enjoy all that much. This book is unique because it raises so many issues that are troubling our society today: abortion, stem cell research, society's "unwanted" citizens, group pressure and independence. In many ways this book reminded me of Suzanne Collins' book, The Hunger Games. I think it is just the disregard for human life that is so overwhelming in both of these books. I hope this is not a symptom of our World of Warfare society.
