Sameness

by K. Weikel

Nine months of sleep, three months of being awake, that's how the year goes for us. Half of us wake up tired and sore while all of us wake up smelling of either lotion or bleach. But during the nine month period of hibernation, I woke up.

And now I know why I always wake up sore and reeking of bleach.

SAMENESS, WHAT WE STRIVED FOR SO LONG TO ACHIEVE. BUT WHAT IF YOU'RE DESTINED TO BE DIFFERENT?

Humans have always strived for equality, for everyone to be treated equal. We finally reached the point of this harmony, this level of sameness--and everyone is happy. Many, many generations later.

But what happens when, in a wold of people knocked down and stood up to be exactly alike, a person wants to be different? What if they're destined to be unique in a world of strict equality?

[Nathaniel · Rating 4 out of 5]

Sameness is a science fiction book that I thoroughly enjoyed. There were many times when I thought that it was almost more of a thought-worthy action book than an action book in itself. There were action scenes throughout it that were quite interesting, but the morals behind the story, and entire reason for many of the characters actions left me speechless. The society was built to make everyone equal, but that's not a healthy thing, especially when the leaders are abusing it. I will admit, the idea of the book was a little cliche, but I've never seen it written in this type of fashion. Sameness is definitely a must-read for any sci-fi lovers looking for something to freshen up their thoughts... and shelves.

This reminds me a lot of The Giver. It's the type of scifi book that really explains humanity and the measures we take for control and our definitions of right and wrong. I hope that people consider picking this book up because even with its imperfections it still remains a favorite of mine.
