Rodman Philbrick
This fast-paced action novel is set in a future where the world has been almost destroyed. Like the award-winning novel Freak the Mighty, this is Philbrick at his very best.It's the story of an epileptic teenager nicknamed Spaz, who begins the heroic fight to bring human intelligence back to the planet. In a world where most people are plugged into brain-drain entertainment systems, Spaz is the rare human being who can see life as it really is. When he meets an old man called Ryter, he begins to learn about Earth and its past. With Ryter as his companion, Spaz sets off an unlikely quest to save his dying sister -- and in the process, perhaps the world.

"I really liked the setting and most of the plot of the book. Very futuristic. However the climax felt awkward and the ending was rushed. "

"I love this book! Many things do get thrown at you. Spaz realizes or sees things other people don’t. They distract themselves with probes because the world in that future is just terrible. I definitely recommend."
