The Books Of Ember
Okay, I really liked all of these books except the third one, I didn´t even open it! haha But the first one really draws you in. It´s really fun to see the point of view of a girl in a possible future. I think all the books are filled with critics of our modern society and the best part it´s that they find a solution to our most basic problems in this story. Of course, it´s all fiction but somehow it makes you wonder about how we act in our society. Honestly, by seeing some of the things we think as normal being questioned in the book it makes some things we think are important feel really stupid and meaningless. For example, the reason we go into great wars, like how the interest of a few power-hungry people create war and get a lot of people killed every year.
It also makes you appreciate all the wonders we actually have, and if for example, some kind of armagedon happened tomorrow, would we be qualified to keep living? would we know how to create all of our useful artifacts from scratch? I think that must of us don´t even know how to create the most basic machines to sustain our life! We would probably go back to how we were in the past.... scary!!
