The Unidentified by Rae Mariz 296 pages

Scary futuristic novel. Katey(aka Kid) attends an alternative school in a former mall. Before, during and after classes, students play video games. Corporate sponsors have raised market research to a 24/7 art form tracking everything students do, play, and wear and selecting the chosen few to become the trend setters. After she witnesses a shocking p.r. prank of a simulated suicide between classes, she discovers the Unidentified who spurn the corporates and crave anonymity. Katey learns that some of her friends seek fame rather than friendship. This sharp satire questions whether we are not too far from this imagined society.
