I could never give you a book recommendation. I was
the weird kid who always liked math and was great at it. The only reason I would go to the book fair
was too look for anything that had a toy or science-y thing with it. But if I could give one a book to look into,
is the book called The Last Book in the Universe.
Instead people having the options
to read books, in this distastes future, people turn to this thing called
Mindprobes, this almost drug like method of injecting ‘moving images’ or movies
in your head. This allows sort of an escape
for one.
I first read The Last Book in the Universe way back in middle and was now
looking back to rereading it soon to possibly write a screenplay for it. The story takes place in a futuristic world that
is filled with chaos and anarchy. We follow
a young boy by the name of Spaz, a boy from poverty and nothing, who sets out
on a dangerous journey to a great well living place called the Eden.
When I first read this book I instantly
feel in love with the world and Spaz’s character. The story to me has a mixture
of Star Wars (Anakin’s story arch) and Ready Player One. The ending is a bit foggy in my mind since it’s
been a while I read it, but it is a sad ending that still well settling.
