5.0 out of 5 stars rediscovered after all this time, August 9, 2003

This review is from: The Other Side of Tomorrow (Hardcover)

I used to read the hell out of this book in junior high school and I just found it again recently, and the stories in here are pretty fantastic! recommended to fans of surreal, dark speculative fiction. Don't let the fact that it is geared towards adolescents through you off. It's pretty damn good.

The other side of tomorrow is a collection of short science fiction stories geared toward the reading level of young adults.

Among other stories is the tale of a very Orwellian society where children learn by plugging themselves into a computer. With goverment-controlled media and eyes everywhere, one youth is determined to tear down the goverment's shroud of virtue to reveal the intentions behind it...
