I read this in school but am returning to finish the series because, why not? The book is really heavy-handed in places since it’s "baby’s first totalitarianism."

This was a good throw back. It is like weird because it feels like it’s set before technology but it’s not. Also it’s a little dark for a children’s book which is surprising. It’s an interesting topic and dystopian setting. There was some sexist elements which was a bummer.
