The Unraveling | Benjamin Rosenbaum
2 posts | 1 reading | 4 to read
In a far-future society where biotechnology has revolutionized gender, young Fift must decide whether to conform or carve a new path. In the distant future somewhere in the galaxy, a society has emerged where everyone has multiple bodies, cybernetics has abolished privacy, and individual and family success within the rigid social system is reliant upon instantaneous social approbation. Young Fift is an only child of the staid gender, struggling to maintain their position in the system while developing an intriguing friendship with the poorly-publicized bioengineer Shriasomewhat controversial, since Shria is bail-gendered. In time, Fift and Shria unintentionally wind up at the center of a scandalous art spectacle which turns into the early stages of a multi-layered revolution against their strict societal system. Suddenly they become celebrities and involuntary standard-bearers for the upheaval. Fift is torn between the survival of Shria and the success of their family cohort; staying true to their feelings and caving under societal pressure. Whatever Fift decides will make a disproportionately huge impact on the future of the world. Whats a young staid to do when the whole world is watching?

I‘m perpetually asking myself what I should read next, but still appreciate other people‘s input. I just tagged The Unraveling because it‘s the only book in this picture that I haven‘t written a previous post about. Circe as well as The Night Circus are DNFs that I‘m considering going back to. I‘ve read the first chapter of Nick. The others would be new from the beginning ❤️ UPDATE: I‘ve decided to go with The Lost Apothecary. 🤓😍📚

staci.reads I really liked Circe even though it's out of my usual wheelhouse. I also really liked The Lost Apothecary. 3y
KAYCEE1 I could not get into Circe but will try again later. I loved The Lost Apothecary and The Night Circus. (edited) 3y

Front matter: "The world runs on pride."
Chapter 1: "Fift was almost five, and it wasn't like zir to be asleep in all of zir bodies."

Perfect for #pridemonth
