Corpus Delicti. Ein Prozess
Author: Juli Zeh
Desc: Mia Holl lives in a state governed by The Method where good health is the highest duty of the citizen. Everyone must submit medical data and sleep records to the authorities on a monthly basis and regular exercise is mandatory. Mia is young and beautiful a successful scientist who is outwardly obedient but with an intellect that marks her as subversive. Convinced that her brother has been wrongfully convicted of a terrible crime Mia comes up against the full force of a regime determined to control every aspect of its citizens' lives. The Method set in the middle of the twenty-first century deals with pressing questions: to what extent can the state curtail the rights of the individual? And does the individual have a right to resist? Juli Zeh has written a thrilling and visionary book about our future and our present.
