Cassia’s grandfather shared contraband poems with her before he died, instilling her with a creative spirit.
Writing is forbidden, and all visual and literary arts have been censored, save for the Society-decided 100 best. Xander is giving newborns Rising-manufactured pills that immunize them against the red tablets.Ĭareful to curate every detail of its peoples’ lives, the Society has eliminated creativity.
This red tablet wipes out memories of the preceding twelve hours. The Society administers immunization pills to every newborn, prescribing more tablets as children grow, including a red tablet, which each citizen must carry but only consume on official order. As a physic, Xander is already covertly undermining the Society’s chemical control of citizens. When the Rising heroically intervenes with the cure to save those who are suffering, it will win the trust and support of the Society’s citizens. With a cure at hand, the Rising will deploy the plague across the provinces. The Rising plots to topple the Society by repurposing a plague the Society originally engineered to conquer the Enemy. Ky, who is training to be a pilot in Camas, and Xander, “physic,” are also awaiting personal alerts that the rebellion is beginning. The Rising has instructed her to remain at her job in Central, but to watch for unusual data, which will signal the start of the rebellion. Cassia is exceptionally skilled at her job in the Society as a “sorter” trained to analyze citizens’ psychological data to predict the best marriage matches or general behaviors. Each has a specific role to play in the uprising. They’re in league with a rebel organization known as the Rising, which is directed by The Pilot, a messianic-like leader who is never seen. The story is told from the rotating first-person perspectives of Xander, Cassia, and Ky. Cassia, Xander, and Ky join forces in Reached to undermine their government and gain control of their lives. Surprisingly, she’s paired with her longtime friend, Xander Carrow, but a glitch in the system also fleetingly matches her with Ky Markham, causing Cassia to question the infallibility of the Society. In the series’ opening book, Cassia Reyes is seventeen, the age to be matched in marriage. The Society determines who marries whom, what profession each person pursues, when they die, and more, all with the intent of creating a utopia. Reached (2012), the third volume of Ally Condie’s young adult Matched trilogy, takes place in a future world where the governing body, called the Society, uses personal data and advanced statistical methods to map out the happiest life for each of its citizens.
