What happens when brainwashing is on the re-educational plan of a reform school for teens?
Mind-numbing rules, slogans, and interrogations - mediated by a new AI system - twist language to its breaking point.
Fourteen year-old Verity Truman is 'accidentally' locked up in a remote desert detention center without contact to the outside world. That is - to the human world. But her one contact speaks only in evanescent symbols. So how is she even supposed to communicate?
Most of the kids are falling for the lingo and the 'medicated' treats. Is there any way Verity can keep her brain online before joining the others in zombie-land and the Re-educators call it a wrap?
Beware that language can change how you think - at the Ersatz Academy in may change who you become...check it out before your mind forgets how to decide.
