![]() Google claims that garlic basil crusted pork with apple cream sauce is actually a thing, so looks like Apple and Basil are meant for each other. The Boy’s name is Basil, which immediately made me think of food. ![]() That’s all fine and dandy until Thalia meets The Boy. She also hacks into the One World system occasionally for fun, and has a best friend who is the epitome of One World’s typical gadget-loving teenager but with more heart and smarts, so we know that she’s all set to take on anything. ![]() She should’ve been born a few decades earlier, since she’s into knitting, wearing cotton clothing (instead of clothing made from Cottonylle grown in the lab), not using her Gizmo (a personal cyber assistant that everyone carries around), and shopping in person (online shopping is the way to go!). As they try to discover why certain people are starting to feel hunger and what secrets One World is trying to hide, they find themselves on the ‘wanted’ list and running for their lives. When seventeen-year-old Thalia Apple, daughter of the head scientist and the technology leader of One World, suddenly starts feeling hunger despite taking inocs, she runs into Basil – a boy from the “other side of town”, so to speak – who’s having the same issue. In exchange, One World now controls the entire world’s food supply. In the future, the world is saved from starvation and war by One World, an organization that created medication (“inocs”) like Synthamil to provide all the nutrients that humans need. Genre: ( Young Adult) Science Fiction / Dystopia / Food Introduction ![]()
