Beschreibung
I likedThe Unit. very much. I know you will be riveted, as I was. Margaret Atwood. Echoing work by Marge Piercy and Margaret Atwood,The Unit. is as thought-provoking as it is compulsively readable. Jessica Crispin, NPR. org. Ninni Holmqvists eerie dystopian novel envisions a society in the not-so-distant future where men and women deemed economically worthless are sent to a retirement community called the Unit. With lavish apartments set amongst beautiful gardens and state-of-the-art facilities, elaborate gourmet meals, and wonderful music and art, they are free of financial worries and want for nothing. Its an idyllic place, but theres a catch: the residents known as dispensables must donate their organs, one by one, until the final donation. When Dorrit Weger arrives at the Unit, she resigns herself to this fate, seeking only peace in her final days. But she soon falls in love, and this unexpected, improbable happiness throws the future into doubt. Clinical and haunting, The Unit. is a modern-day classic and a spine-chilling cautionary tale about the value of human life.
