    This is all your fault, Dad. 
    The year is 2076. Earth is ruled by a one-world government. In order to maintain unity, all citizens must deny their national, racial, and religious identities—or suffer the consequences. 
    After destroying the government’s superweapon, seventeen-year-old Philadelphia Smyrna leaps off a train in a desperate attempt to escape from prison. She survives, only to be kidnapped and held hostage by a politician from her past. He offers to set her free in exchange for a favor, but his terms seem too good to be true. Philadelphia soon realizes that her patronizing captor also has a deadly secret that puts them all at risk. With her former enemy Nic as her only ally, Philadelphia races to find out who’s really in charge—before her captor uses her to start a war.

    Souvenir by Philip K. Dick - A hideous nightmare seemed the culture of Williamson's World–to men who knew nothing of beauty. 
    "Here we go, sir," the robot pilot said. The words startled Rogers and made him look up sharply. He tensed his body and adjusted the trace web inside his coat as the bubble ship started dropping, swiftly and silently, toward the planet's surface, 
    This–his heart caught–was Williamson's World. The legendary lost planet–found, after three centuries. By accident, of course. This blue and green planet–the holy grail of the Galactic System, had been almost miraculously discovered by a routine charting mission.
