Thunderhead by Neal Shusterman
Arc of a Scythe
In a world where death has been conquered and society is governed by an all-knowing AI called the Thunderhead, two young apprentices, Citra and Rowan, navigate the complex and morally challenging role of Scythes, who are tasked with controlling the population by gleaning lives. As they grapple with their responsibilities and the political machinations within the Scythedom, they uncover deep-seated corruption and threats to the balance of their world. Meanwhile, the Thunderhead, though unable to intervene in Scythe affairs, watches over humanity and struggles with its own limitations, setting the stage for a profound exploration of free will, ethics, and the nature of a perfect society.
