Carve the mark first look veronica roth5/12/2023 With razor sharp prose, Poster Girl is a haunting dystopian mystery that explores the expanding role of surveillance on society-an inescapable reality that we welcome all too easily. The path Sonya takes to find the child will lead her through an unfamiliar, crooked post-Delegation world where she finds herself digging deeper into the past-and her family’s dark secrets-than she ever wanted to. Sonya, former poster girl for the Delegation, has been imprisoned for ten years when an old enemy comes to her with a deal: find a missing girl who was stolen from her parents by the old regime, and earn her freedom. And everyone else, now free from the Insight’s monitoring, went on with their lives. Her new novella, Arch-Conspirator, will be released in February. She is also the guest editor of The Best American Science Fiction and Fantasy 2021. Its most valuable members were locked in the Aperture, a prison on the outskirts of the city. Veronica Roth is the New York Times best-selling author of Poster Girl, Chosen Ones, the short story collection The End and Other Beginnings, the Divergent series, and the Carve the Mark duology. For decades, everyone in the Seattle-Portland megalopolis lived under it, as well as constant surveillance in the form of the Insight, an ocular implant that tracked every word and every action, rewarding or punishing by a rigid moral code set forth by the Delegation. Sonya Kantor knows this slogan-she lived by it for most of her life.
