A note for parents
Shift is the second book in a mature dystopian science-fiction series dealing with complex themes of memory, identity, and societal collapse.

This is solidly adult science fiction that older teens comfortable with philosophical darkness and morally complex scenarios might appreciate, but it requires maturity beyond the typical middle-grade reader.

"In 2007, the Center for Automation in Nanobiotech (CAN) outlined the hardware and software platforms that would one day allow robots smaller than human cells to make medical diagnoses, conduct repairs, and even self-propagate. In the same year, the CBS network re-aired a program about the effects of propranolol on sufferers of extreme trauma. A simple pill, it had been discovered, could wipe out the memory of any traumatic event. At almost the same moment in humanity's broad history, mankind discovered the means for bringing about its utter downfall. And the ability to forget it ever happened."--
