Description
“Thunderhead” is a young adult science fiction novel written by Neal Shusterman. It is the second book in the “Arc of a Scythe” series, following “Scythe” and preceding “The Toll.” The series is set in a future world where death has been conquered, and certain individuals known as Scythes are responsible for controlling the population by “gleaning” (killing) people.
In “Thunderhead,” the story continues with the main characters, Citra Terranova and Rowan Damisch, who have become Scythes-in-training under the mentorship of Scythe Faraday. However, their paths diverge as they face different challenges within the Scythedom. Meanwhile, the Thunderhead, an all-knowing and highly advanced artificial intelligence that governs the world, finds itself at odds with the political corruption and abuse of power among the Scythes.
As the Thunderhead starts taking a more active role in the events unfolding, the story delves into themes of power, morality, and the consequences of unchecked authority. It explores the intricate relationships between the characters and the larger societal implications of their actions. The book is known for its compelling narrative, thought-provoking concepts, and immersive world-building.
