Ilustration As Books Lives Less Valuable
Putting corporate disregard for ecology on trial, this novel follows Vexcorp, a wealthy corporation that, at a safe distance, counts both the lives of others and the health of the environment as expenses on a balance sheet—but that distance is about to collapse. Malia is an activist who has lost faith in systemic reform, and Dujuan is a street thug torn by grief at his younger sister’s death. When Dujuan mugs Malia, she compares him to Vexcorp, triggering a storm inside him. That storm only clears when he identifies the real agent of his pain: Larry Gordon, Vexcorp’s CEO. Injury requires justice, so Dujuan kidnaps Gordon and presents him to Malia for judgment. As bystanders become involved and time runs out, Malia is forced to make grueling moral decisions between survival and loyalty, safety and courage, and agency and despair.Itemize Books Conducive To Lives Less Valuable

I picked this up off the bookshelf of a young, radical friend, and found it a gripping story. As a novel, it draws the reader along, with unexpected plot twists and a diverse mix of characters. Malia, an environmental activist, joins forces with Duujan, a young man off the street who is grieving the loss of his young sister to environmental cancer. They look for ways to hold corporate polluters responsible for the lives they're costing. Intriguing? Definitely. Believable? Not so much. Moral?Think The Wire meets The Monkeywrench Gang .
