My future was bright, and I was bright, and I Drymmed with brightest enthusiasm

Amy Roses striking dystopian novella The Paper Books paints a grim future of a nation wrecked by socialism and social justice, where a heavily surveilled populace is governed by Absolute Equality and educated by state-run simulations. In the midst of a peaceful but oppressive twenty-second century, academic high school student Marian Sane is catapulted into danger when she uncovers the dangers behind seeking her own opinions. After she joins a society that encourages freedom of speech and ideas, her way of life is threatened when she is revealed to have one of the most dangerous pieces of contraband imaginable: a pair of un-censored physical books hidden in her dorm. In a story narrated in a uniquely stylized voice, Marian must decide for herself whether to betray her friends or surrender her growing convictions.
