I was completely sucked in by this Swedish work pondering a dystopian future where those elderly deemed as "dispensable" are sent to retirement homes that double as medical experimentation and organ donation centers. Addressing question from what makes a person needed, to the fears unique to being an elderly person, to how much should an individual be willing to contribute of her own self to the greater good, this book is an excellent, unique, thought-provoking entry into dystopian literature. Highly recommended to fans of dystopian and scifi literature as well as those interested in sociology and psychology.
