![]() ![]() In Shusterman’s utopia, religion has largely disappeared. As the sum of human knowledge, plus a bit of its own wisdom, the Thunderhead is all-knowing and all-powerful and all-good. This utopian world has been made possible by the creation of the Thunderhead, the cloud made sentient, which has eyes and ears everywhere in order to monitor and guide humanity. In their eyes, death has been fully eradicated. Human Scythes have been appointed to “glean” a certain percentage of the living to keep the population under control, but, statistically, most people will not be gleaned for thousands or millions of years. In the utopian world of Neal Shusterman’s Arc of a Scythe trilogy, death, pain, and illness have been defeated. ![]() Spoilers for all three books in the Arc of a Scythe trilogy, especially The Toll. ![]()
