In "Gleanings: Stories from the Arc of a Scythe," Neal Shusterman expands the universe of his acclaimed trilogy with a collection of interconnected short stories. Set in a future where death has been conquered and a select group of individuals known as Scythes maintain population control through "gleanings," these narratives explore the consequences of immortality, the ethics of life and death, and the complexities of human nature. Through various perspectives, readers encounter diverse characters and the moral dilemmas they face in a world without natural mortality. The stories delve into themes of power, sacrifice, and what it truly means to live. [Generated by language model - please report any problems].
