4.0

Ordinarily a book that poses questions and then leaves them unanswered is frustrating. However, in this instance it leads you to the point of the book which is to consider what makes a human, human. Aside from dystopian it is difficult to define the genre of this book however I think it’s a book most readers should read as it is unlike anything else.
