What if you never had to leave your house unless you really wanted to? You could get meals delivered, socialize online, and even go to a Digital School online. It would be so easy to hide behind a screen, and keep the real you to yourself. However, would it make you less human? In Maddie’s world, the outside is seen as dangerous, and it’s safer to stay indoors. Her own father is the founder of the Digital School, which makes it possible for kids to go to school via technology, instead of in person. Maddie is happy in her technological cocoon, until she meets Justin. A group that Justin is part of wants to go back to a more “human” way of doing things….slow down and unplug. Awaken is a very interesting book, it’ll stay with you long after you read it.
