The Unwind Collection by Neal Shusterman is a dystopian series set in a future where abortion is illegal, but teenage issues are resolved through a process called "unwinding," where a teen's body is harvested for organs and body parts. The narrative follows several characters, including Connor, Risa, and Lev, who navigate a society that treats them as disposable. As they attempt to escape their fates, they confront moral dilemmas and challenge the values of a world that sees them as mere commodities. The collection explores themes of individuality, societal control, and the struggle for autonomy amid dehumanization. [Generated by language model - please report any problems].
