The Destiny of Linus Hoppe

(3) 4-6 Translated by Catherine Temerson. In a future dystopia, a computer test at age fourteen separates those destined for easy lives in Realm One from everyone else. On the eve of his exam, Linus Hoppe begins to question the system and decides to switch his score with a less fortunate friend. This thought-provoking French import reflects on such topics as standardized tests, privilege, free will, and our computerized society.
