Requests:  1 Summary:  "Founded by the mysterious genius known as the Designer, the archipelago of Prospera lies hidden from the horrors of a deteriorating outside world. In this island paradise, Prospera's lucky citizens enjoy long, fulfilling lives until the monitors embedded in their forearms, meant to measure their physical health and psychological well-being, fall below 10 percent. Then they retire themselves, embarking on a ferry ride to the island known as the Nursery, where their failing bodies are renewed, their memories are wiped clean, and they are readied to restart life afresh. Proctor Bennett, of the Department of Social Contracts, has a satisfying career as a ferryman, gently shepherding people through the retirement process--and, when necessary, enforcing it. But all is not well with Proctor. For one thing, he's been dreaming--which is supposed to be impossible in Prospera. For another, his monitor percentage has begun to drop alarmingly fast. And then comes the day he is summoned to retire his own father, who gives him a disturbing and cryptic message before being wrestled onto the ferry. Meanwhile, something is stirring. The Support Staff, ordinary men and women who provide the labor to keep Prospera running, have begun to question their place in the social order. Unrest is building, and there are rumors spreading of a resistance group--known as 'Arrivalists'--who may be fomenting revolution. Soon Proctor finds himself questioning everything he once believed, entangled with a much bigger cause than realized--and on a desperate mission to uncover the truth"--Provided by publisher.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Copy Status Due Date   Aiea Public Library Adult Fiction Cronin   Checked out 07/03/2024 Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Adult Fiction Cronin   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList CLOSED TEMPORARILY: Honokaa Public Library Adult Fiction Cronin   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kailua Public Library Adult Fiction Cronin   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Adult New Books Cronin [Sci Fic] Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kalihi-Palama Public Library Adult Fiction Cronin   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kapaa Public Library Adult Science Fiction Cronin   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Fiction Cronin   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Liliha Public Library Adult Fiction Cronin   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList McCully-Moiliili Public Library Adult Fiction Cronin   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList More Results: 1 2 Next
