This month we will be discussing "Red Risi ng" by Pierce Brown. The material can be found in our catalogue here:
\ n\nDarrow is a \;Red\, a member of the lowest caste in the colo r-coded society of the future. Like his fellow \;Reds\, he works all d ay\, believing that he and his people are making the surface of Mars livab le for future generations. Yet he spends his life willingly\, knowing that his blood and sweat will one day result in a better world for his childre n. But Darrow and his kind have been betrayed. Soon he discovers that huma nity reached the surface generations ago. Vast cities and sprawling parks spread across the planet. Darrow and \;Reds \;like him\, are nothi ng more than slaves to a decadent ruling class. Inspired by a longing for justice\, and driven by the memory of lost love\, Darrow sacrifices everyt hing to infiltrate the legendary Institute\, a proving ground for the domi nant Gold caste\, where the next generation of humanity's overlords strugg le for power. \;
