The Resisters by Gish Jen
In a future America where society is divided into "Netted" and "Surplus" citizens, a family of resisters navigates a world dominated by automation and surveillance. The story follows Gwen, a gifted young athlete from the marginalized Surplus class, as she grapples with her identity and the pressures of a society that values conformity over individuality. As Gwen's talent for baseball becomes a beacon of hope for her community, she must decide whether to embrace her role in a system that oppresses her or to fight for a future where everyone has a chance to thrive. Through the lens of a dystopian world, the narrative explores themes of resistance, family, and the power of human connection.
