There is a commentary on the current state of the world and the political climate if you want to see it but it isn’t forced upon you. While I was reading I realised that Scythe is what you make it, what you want it to be to a degree. Shusterman does do it well though I can easily see where people would take issue.
I generally avoid ya dystopia, I think it’s a tad overdone and rarely done well. Scythe is a popular and award-winning book, I start with this only because that was one of the reasons I wanted to read it. Humanity is innocent humanity is guilty, and both states are undeniably true. Everyone is guilty of something, and everyone still harbors a memory of childhood innocence, no matter how many layers of life wrap around it. The quote: We must by law, keep a record of the innocents we kill.
