Worth checking out Cory Doctorow's YA novels... they tend to be more varied than the typical fare - a good example of what you can do with the genre.
Yes, there's a "coming of age", "figuring out what you want to do with your life" common element to them - but then one might argue that many alleged adults in today's world have not actually come of age yet. Maybe we need more of this stuff in our literature.
- kleer001 11y agoYes, if you can stand Doctorow's breast beating over EFF type themes of autonomy, government, security, etc... Which might be just your thing ;)
- swombat 11y agoHe's not breast-beating, just making a clear, compelling, well argued and well illustrated case... Or, you're right, it might well be my thing :-P
- kleer001 11y agoFair enough, lol. The only reason I call it breast beating is because it's such a clear departure from his very early work.
