Insurgent

2012

by Veronica Roth

One choice can transform you—or it can destroy you. But every choice has consequences, and as unrest surges in the factions all around her, Tris Prior must continue trying to save those she loves—and herself—while grappling with haunting questions of grief and forgiveness, identity and loyalty, politics and love.

Tris's initiation day should have been marked by celebration and victory with her chosen faction; instead, the day ended with unspeakable horrors. War now looms as conflict between the factions and their ideologies grows. And in times of war, sides must be chosen, secrets will emerge, and choices will become even more irrevocable—and even more powerful. Transformed by her own decisions but also by haunting grief and guilt, radical new discoveries, and shifting relationships, Tris must fully embrace her Divergence, even if she does not know what she may lose by doing so.

New York Times bestselling author Veronica Roth's much-anticipated second book of the dystopian DIVERGENT series is another intoxicating thrill ride of a story, rich with hallmark twists, heartbreaks, romance, and powerful insights about human nature.

Globalia

Globalia offers a daring political satire that dissects the mechanisms of oligarchic neoliberal democracy. Behind the bloody distinctions of nation and race, a universalizing democracy has been imposed in Globalia. Society now enjoys health and prosperity but is numbed in a consumptive paroxysm. Everyone speaks the same language, are radical environmentalists, neurasthenics, idle, and addicted to cosmetic surgery. To maintain cohesion, residents are kept in an unconscious self-absorption by the media and frightened by continuous terrorist attacks. As the terrorist attacks are diminishing, the Globalian authorities have decided to create a New Enemy to guarantee terror. This enemy will be an element of the system whose function is to cement its values even more... A humorous farce of contemporary society and an unflattering reflection of a probable future.
