Audiobook Summary-

"Thunderhead" by Neal Shusterman is the engrossing sequel to "Scythe" and picks up the story of Citra and Rowan as they face the intricate and ethically complicated universe of the Scythedom. Death has been eliminated in this futuristic society, and humanity is ruled by the Thunderhead, a highly developed artificial intelligence that maintains peace and order. But its neutrality is undermined by the internal power struggles in the Scythes, and it is evident that the system is not as perfect as it appears. As the story progresses, Citra and Rowan go on different trajectories. Rowan identifies with the vocation of a Scythe, while Citra resists traditional norms and endeavors to bring about change from outside. In parallel, the Thunderhead itself becomes unstable and confronted with an increasingly developing conflict between its responsibility to maintain humanity and the new mayhem brought on by renegade Scythes. "Thunderhead" explores the ideas of free will, morality, and the responsibility of power more deeply. Shusterman builds a dynamic, intellectually stimulating story that questions the place of technology, government, and control's nature, all while captivating readers with surprise and turns.
