![]() ![]() ![]() Everything makes sense and seems like it could happen if given a chance. Shusterman’s world was fascinating and developed. In come the two main characters, Citra, and Rowan, who are both training to be Scythes under Honorable Scythe Faraday when there’s only one spot open. Humanity creates scythes: people trained to “glean” others from the world any way they see fit. So, it’s up to humanity to keep the population down as the Thunderhead is unwilling to dole out death. If no one dies, the population will exceed Earth’s capacity. ![]() The world is perfect: no war, poverty, homelessness, disease, or worries because the world is run by a just and benevolent supercomputer named the Thunderhead. Scythe is a dystopian novel set in a future version of Earth where humanity has conquered death. I picked up Scythe a few months ago at a friend’s recommendation and will forever be glad I did. One of the best books I’ve ever read is Scythe, by Neal Shusterman-high praise, given that I’ve read countless books. A copy of Scythe enjoys a luxurious existence upon a fluffy blanket, surrounded by lights. ![]()
