Description
If happiness were a virus, who would search for a cure?
A heart-pounding dystopian YA thriller from the New York Times bestselling author of Scythe.
"[The] epic biological thriller ... enigmatic, jaw-dropping" Publishers Weekly
A deadly and unprecedented virus is spreading. But those who survive it experience long-term effects no one has ever seen before: utter contentment. Soon after infection, people find the stress, depression, greed, and other negative feelings that used to weigh them down are gone.
More and more people begin to revel in the mass unburdening. But not everyone. People in power – who depend on malcontents and prey on the insecure to sell their products – know this new state of being is bad for business. Campaigns start up to convince people that being eternally happy is dangerous. The race to find a vaccine begins. Meanwhile, a growing movement of Recoverees plan ways to spread the virus as fast as they can, in the name of saving the world.
It’s nearly impossible to determine the truth when everyone with a platform is pushing their agenda. Three teens from very different backgrounds who’ve had their lives upended in very different ways find themselves at the center of a power play that could change humanity forever.
