On page 247 of ‘ Super Sad True Love Story’, the author described Lenny’s and Eunice’s running back to Manhattan at the special time of political upheaval.  When they needed to get on the ferry, Eunice told Lenny that she could go to find her sister and David alone but Lenny thought that Eunice’s credit was too low to be distinguished from the LNWI protestors that she would easily be killed by mistakes.

   What a horrible and dystopic world! In my picture above, the bad credit card and good credit card are pointing to different life directions; this book corresponds to this picture very well that bad credits point to death and good credits point to life. In the world Lenny lived, people were no longer fresh bodies but digitalized credit numbers. When people were interacting, it would not be one’s integrity or characteristics that can make people like him but his credits. Humans were put in rankings just by credits; there is no human equity deep down people’s thoughts. When one’s number is lower than one certain value,  he would be no longer deemed as valuable and worthy to be saved. Worst of all, this pathetic phenomenon could be a vicious cycle that if people only appreciate high credits, then people who have credits could be put in higher positions and had priority in using social resources, which can result in generations of high credits. Gradually, the social wealth would be controlled by small amounts of social elites, causing opportunities to climb up social ladder to be infinitely small. What would happen then? Turmoil. Killing. War.

     Thus, I believe that as the biggest threat of world relying on highly developed technology, digitalization is also the most dystopic point in this book.
