In 2016, Neal Shusterman launched the first book of Scythe, his Arc of a Scythe series, dominated by artificial intelligence called Thunderhead, in the future planet. Technology has grown until poverty, crime and even death no longer worry. In order to suppress population growth, an organization called scythedom was established. Members of the organization were respected and worried that they "gather" human responsibility. Scythe, honored by Printz, was trained by two apprentices, Rowan and Citra, in the political turmoil of scythedom. In the second book, Thunderhead, Shusterman directed attention to the powerful AI itself. Because the powerful starving sickle conspiracy can destroy the world order.

Ron and Citra took the opposite position and explained how to deal with the terrible sickle rot of the New York Times bestseller Neal Shusterman's Printz Honor Book Scythe. Thunderhead can not interfere with sensible things. All he can do is observe - and that does not like what it sees. One year after Ron left, it was over. Since then, he has become a policeman of fire to kill the urban legend, the sickle of corruption. His story is spoken through whisper throughout the African continent. As a sickle anastacia, Citra is full of sympathy and is challenging the ideal of "new order" openly. But when her life was threatened and questions were cast on her approach, it was clear that everyone was not open to change. Does Thunderhead participate? Or have you started unraveling this by looking at this perfect world?
