It's in the boxes that I try to bring to MVP if anyone wants to borrow it.

I bought that book, and like many others, started reading but haven't finished it yet  Upon discovering it, I was particularly inspired because the protagonist and I have the same name. From the book description:



    Jeremy has a dream: To be the greatest lightmaker for the greatest west coast rock band, RebelFire.

    But what can he do? He's just a kid. A kid trapped in a prison-like school. Trapped in a world where dreams are "treated" with drugs – and roving patrols make sure you take your dose.

    Trapped in the Zone, where travel without a permit is impossible. Trapped under the all-controlling eye of spycams, sensors, and monitors.

    Trapped by the chip in his wrist that regulates everything Jeremy can – or can't – do.

    Trapped in a world where some far-off control freak can even decide what music you're allowed – or forbidden – to hear.

    Jeremy's only choice is to shut up and do as he's ordered.

But some people were never meant to be controlled ...

Good book, I got it when it first came out.  I lent it out a few times to spread the meme.

I was just wondering if there was going to be a sequel.
