General Analysis

ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

"Unwind" by Neal Shusterman is set in a dystopian future where teenagers can be "unwound," a process where their body parts are harvested for others. The story follows three main characters: Connor, a rebellious teen; Risa, a talented musician; and Lev, a tithe destined for sacrifice. Their paths intersect as they navigate a society that values parts over people, exploring the moral implications of this practice. The narrative examines themes of identity, bodily autonomy, and the value of human life. It also shows the characters’ struggle against a system that dehumanizes individuals and their fight for survival in a world where they are considered expendable.
