Identity vs. Access
Freedom vs. Control
The bar code tattoo. Everybody's getting it. It will make your life easier, they say. It will hook you in. It will become your identity.
But what if you say no? What if you don't want to become a code? For Kayla, this one choice changes everything. She becomes an outcast in her high school. Dangerous things happen to her family. There's no option but to run...for her life.
This book begins very quickly and captures you till the very end.
I found that you are able to understand how this book goes, if you think about it how far off are we from the bar code tattoo that not only tracks everything you do, but tells you things about your DNA and medical records that you dont even know yet?
This book shows how we evolved from SSN, Drivers License, Credit cards- to future 2020-2025 where the have e-cards, which stored all their money- paper money no longer existed. Cell phones became a thing of the past since everything became electronic. The bar code tattoo became something that anyone who turned 17 would get, at first it wasn't mandatory, but that soon changed. The government was over taken by a company called Global-1 who ran everything from the food you put on your table to your money and even your health. The bar code tattoo was just suppose to store your banking, and ID you except it stored much more than anyone realized.
Follow Kayla along her journey to resist the bar code tattoo and the group she joins called the decoders, watch as people she trust turn their back on her, stab her in the back, and even traitors among them. This story will stay with you and you will be rushing to read the next 2 books in the series, I am currently waiting for the other 2 books from the library. But i will be posting again soon !
