This week, Patrick and Tracy welcome Veronica Roth, author of POSTER GIRL.
About POSTER GIRL: WHAT’S RIGHT IS RIGHT. Sonya Kantor knows this slogan—she lived by it for most of her life. For decades, everyone in the Seattle-Portland megalopolis lived under it, as well as constant surveillance in the form of the Insight, an ocular implant that tracked every word and every action, rewarding or punishing by a rigid moral code set forth by the Delegation.
About Veronica Roth: VERONICA ROTH is the New York Times best-selling author of Chosen Ones, the short story collection The End and Other Beginnings, the Divergent series, and the Carve the Mark duology. She is also the guest editor of the most recent The Best American Science Fiction and Fantasy. She lives in Chicago, Illinois.
This week’s picks:
* Veronica: The Stars Undying by Emery Robin
* Tracy: Cult of the Lamb (Video Game)
* Patrick #1: Marvel’s Werewolf by Night (Disney+)
