I read this and walk the moon's road in high school. I read this book first and it was by far my favorite dystopia novel. Looking back it is also an interesting "back to nature" story.

A parable of white supremacy and ableism, where anyone not linked telepathically into "the one" is to be killed. This includes eugenics, where children born without telepathy are killed in a ceremony when they pass the latest age at which the telepathy emerges.
There is a wall enclosing "the one", which is assumed to exclude a wilderness without humans, but Danlo finds this is false.
The story is his struggle to come to terms with this and decolonise his mind so the he can accept that the wild people are also deserving of rights.
