Jason Zhou survives in a divided society where the elite use their wealth to buy longer lives. The rich wear special suits, protecting them from the pollution and viruses that plague the city, while those without suffer illness and early deaths. Frustrated by his city’s corruption and still grieving the loss of his mother who died as a result of it, Zhou is determined to change things, no matter the cost. With the help of his friends, Zhou infiltrates the lives of the wealthy in hopes of destroying the international Jin Corporation from within. Jin Corp not only manufactures the special suits the rich rely on, but they may also be manufacturing the pollution that makes them necessary. Yet the deeper Zhou delves into this new world of excess and wealth, the more muddled his plans become. And against his better judgment, Zhou finds himself falling for Daiyu, the daughter of Jin Corp’s CEO. Can Zhou save his city without compromising who he is, or destroying his own heart? Titel: Want Genre: Science Fiction Sammendrag: Jason Zhou lever i et opdelt samfund, hvor de rige bruger deres velstand til at købe længere liv. De rige bærer specielle dragter, der beskytter dem mod forurening og vira, som plager byen, mens de fattige lider af sygdom og tidlig død. Stærkt påvirket af byens korruption og stadig sørgende over sin mors død, er Zhou fast besluttet på at ændre ting, uanset omkostningerne. Med hjælp fra sine venner infiltrerer Zhou de riges liv for at ødelægge den internationale Jin Corporation indefra. Jin Corp fremstiller ikke kun de specielle dragter, som de rige stoler på, men de producerer måske også den forurening, der gør dem nødvendige. Jo dybere Zhou går ind i denne verden af overdreven rigdom, jo mere forvirrede bliver hans planer. Og imod sin bedre dømmekraft finder Zhou sig tiltrukket af Daiyu, datteren af Jin Corp's CEO. Kan Zhou redde sin by uden at kompromittere hvem han er, eller ødelægge sit eget hjerte? Type: Paperback
