Klappentext An adult fantasy novel from the author of Divergent and Chosen Ones. Sonya Kantor has been confined to a single city block since she was a teenager. When she's given the chance to escape, she must decide if the cost is one she's willing to pay . . .Before the revolution, a totalitarian regime known as the Delegation ruled the Pacific Northwest, using mass surveillance to enforce its will on its citizens. But then the people fought back. The Delegation fell. Those favored by it-and their children-were confined to a city block and forgotten. Good riddance, most people said. Sonya Kantor, who lost all her family in the revolution, has been living there-in the Aperture-since she was a teenager. But the new government has just given her a chance to earn her freedom: she has to right one of the wrongs of the Delegation. She has to find a missing girl, someone the Delegation displaced from her family. That girl could be anywhere. And the cost of finding her might be higher than Sonya is willing to pay. Vorwort For fans of Anthony Marra and Lauren Beukes, #1 New York Times bestselling author Veronica Roth delivers a haunting dystopian mystery that explores the expanding role of surveillance on society via one woman who benefited as a child from an oppressive regime as her eyes are opened to the abuses her family, friends, and community perpetrated. Zusammenfassung A fallen regime. A missing child. A chance at freedom. By the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Divergent, Poster Girl is a haunting adult dystopian mystery that explores the expanding role of surveillance on society - an inescapable reality that we welcome all too easily. WHAT'S RIGHT IS RIGHT. Sonya Kantor knows this slogan - she lived by it for most of her life. 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. Then there was a revolution. The Delegation fell. Its most valuable members were locked in the Aperture, a prison on the outskirts of the city. And everyone else, now free from the Insight's monitoring, went on with their lives. 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. 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.
