Samenvatting:

The first in a provocative YA SF trilogy from a Pulitzer Prize-winning writer, about a chilling future world in which citizens submit to emotional surveillance for their own safety.



When the state controls your emotions, how hard will you fight to feel free? In a world of endless summer, the Intercept keeps the peace. Violet Crowley, the sixteen-year-old daughter of New Earth’s Founding Father, has spent her life in comfort and safety. Her days are easy thanks to the Intercept, a crime-prevention device that monitors emotion. But Violet's easy life is upended the day her friend and longtime crush, Danny Mayhew, gets into a dangerous altercation on Old Earth. When Danny refuses to explain why he put himself in mortal danger, Violet launches a secret investigation to find out what he's hiding. An investigation that will lead her to question everything she's ever known about Danny, her father, and the power of the Intercept. The Dark Intercept is the beginning of a “riveting” (Emmy Laybourne) science fiction adventure that challenges the voluntary surrender of liberties for the perception of safety.
