Essay Topics

1.

How is gender presented in the novel? The discussion of masculinity is complex and nuanced, but does the novel give the same attention to femininity?

2.

Consider the ethics of the Leteo procedure. This is addressed explicitly several times in the text, from private conversations to the demonstration outside the institute. Is the procedure ethical? Are the qualifying criteria adequately discriminating? What ethical concerns are raised by Aaron’s experience before, during, and after the procedure?

3.

Analyze the form of the novel. How does Silvera use the dynamic timelines to add impact and significance to previously mundane scenes from the book? What effect does this have on the method of unreliable narration?
