Reach for this book when your teenager begins questioning the ethics of large corporations or expressing anxiety about how technology might impact our physical health. Set in a dystopian future Chicago, this story follows Amanda, an employee at a high-tech engineering firm who discovers that a mysterious illness killing her colleagues is more than just a medical anomaly. It is a gripping exploration of corporate accountability and the fragility of human society.
