Waiting on Wednesday #24
Då var det onsdag igen och dags att drömma sig bort till alla de böcker jag vill ha men som jag troligen aldrig kommer ha tid att läsa. Denna veckan är det en bok som jag har varit sugen på väldigt länge och som dessutom har ett extremt snyggt omslag. When We Wake av Karen Healey verkar handla om en tjej som lever i år 2027. En dag dör hon dock och vaknar upp 100 år senare på ett forskningscentrum. Hon är det första människan som blivit nerfryst och sedan återuppväckt. Hur coolt låter inte det?! Boken kom i för sig ut redan igår men den fick vara med här ändå.
When We Wake av Karen Healey
"Sixteen-year-old Tegan is just like every other girl living in 2027--she's happiest when playing the guitar, she's falling in love for the first time, and she's joining her friends to protest the wrongs of the world: environmental collapse, social discrimination, and political injustice.
But on what should have been the best day of Tegan's life, she dies--and wakes up a hundred years in the future, locked in a government facility with no idea what happened.
Tegan is the first government guinea pig to be cryonically frozen and successfully revived, which makes her an instant celebrity--even though all she wants to do is try to rebuild some semblance of a normal life. But the future isn't all she hoped it would be, and when appalling secrets come to light, Tegan must make a choice: Does she keep her head down and survive, or fight for a better future?
Award-winning author Karen Healey has created a haunting, cautionary tale of an inspiring protagonist living in a not-so-distant future that could easily be our own"
