Apparently it is supposed to be a sort of social experiment. This Program was founded in 1947 and each year one class of students is selected at random. This country is clearly dystopian, rock music is banned, people get killed off for speaking out against the gov, etc. The main premise of this story is a class of high school students in what is called The Greater Republic of East Asia (I think it was meant to be mostly Japan, but I'm not sure) get thrown into this thing called The Program. Honestly, they are different in a lot of ways. I picked this book up because I saw a recommendation from someone who said that it was similar to Hunger Games - which I loved. While I learn how to breathe again, I will attempt to talk about what has been consuming my entire life for the last 3 days or so.
