Adam. Decelerate Blue. First Second, 2017. 188p. 978-1-59643-109-6. 17.99
In Rapp’s vision of the future, everything is fast paced
and the Guarantee Committee makes sure that your every action doesn’t waste any
time. Meals are precooked, whenever you are done speaking, you say “go”
indicating the next person can respond and contractions must be used as much as
possible. Teenager, Angela, doesn’t like this lifestyle and when she finds a
banned book called “Kick the Boot” by Kent Van Gough that the resistance
movement uses as their bible, she goes underground with the movement. The
resistance members take a pill called decelerate blue that makes them go
slower, even reducing their heart rates. While Angela is slowing down and
falling in love, the outside world is plotting to destroy the resistance. Loren
Spector, LAPL, Memorial
