What I found the best part of the book had to be the detailed view of the future, which included awesome gadgets (I would totally buy a heartthrob.) I also liked how this book lead me to think of things that teens deal with in a different way. The book had an underlying message that kept coming up, a message where in a world where teens had everything they could want in The Game outside of it they were really banned from society and lacked any kind of freedom. The Game itself was just an illusion of freedom.
Im not sure why Mariz decided to look at this point of teenage freedoms. I wonder if it came from a lack of freedom when she was a teenager or if she feels that the teens of today and tomorrow will have less freedoms than those of us in Generations X and Y. The book goes into detail how teens are constantly monitored by GPS and how they are banned from most stores and from congregating outside of The Game. Whether Marizs future will in some form come to pass or not, The Unidentified will definitely get teens and adults thinking and talking about what the future may hold.
