YA
In 2049, Tania lives in a society of humans and android teknoids--a generation of "children" manufactured to stop the riots that followed Earth's fertility crisis, who must fight to remain "alive" after turning eighteen. The diary format with extraterrestrial interludes is awkward, but questions about the nature and future of humanity add impact to a unique coming-of-age narrative.
