One dystopic theme in this society is the lack of privacy that corresponds with the reliance and negative effects of social media. I find it very disturbing that on page 38 Lenny can find out that Sally’s “LDL cholesterol was way beneath the norm” and that “The Park sisters favored extra-small shirts in strict business patterns” etc. These are not normal things that one should be able to find on the internet about another person. He does not need to have any human interaction with these people to learn about them. Essentially, the people of this society are becoming solely online profiles. Everything about their lives are on social media sites where anyone can access the information. There is nothing personal about them. This is also demonstrated when the three guys on the radio show “FAC;” there is no human interaction involved. Everything about the people participating is online and demonstrated in a profile. The people of the society are slowly becoming their social media. Similarly, most characters including Eunice, her family and best friend communicate solely through messaging. They too are becoming their usernames and technology devices. This society is essentially turning the people into online profiles.

I chose this image because I think it accurately demonstrates the way the individuals of the society are becoming online profiles. The act of communicating in person is quickly diminishing. People of the society are thought of as profiles and statistics instead of human beings.
