A Dystopian Novel
In the dystopian novel Unfavorables, it’s the year 2040 and President Washburn’s mission is to “normalize” the Union—the most prominent republic in the United Republics of America. Part of the normalization process means that a mandatory Behavioral Thought Exam be administered to kids before the age of fourteen. Those identified as Unfavorables receive an eye chip that allows the government to monitor their night thoughts—the thoughts that are the essence of our behaviors.
