Extras, the final book in the Uglies series, is set a couple of
years after the "mind-rain," a few earth-shattering months in which
the whole world woke up. The cure has spread from city to city, and
the pretty regime that kept humanity in a state of bubbleheadedness
has ended. Boundless human creativity, new technologies, and old
dangers have been unleashed upon the world. Culture is splintering,
the cities becoming radically different from each other as each
makes its own way into this strange and unpredictable future . . .
One of the features of the new world is that everyone has a "feed,"
which is basically their own blog/myspace/tv channel. The ratings
of your feed (combined with how much the city interface overhears
people talking about you) determines your social status--so
everyone knows at all times how famous they are.
As Scott Westerfeld explored the themes of extreme beauty in the
first three Uglies books, now he takes on the world's obsession
with fame and popularity. And how anyone can be an instant
celebrity.
