HIVE - Hadick, Mickey

. .

Résumé :
Neither option seems right... Leah, the daughter of a corporate executive, lives a privileged life in a hive-like city created after nearly all of humanity is wiped out by climate disasters, plague and war. The corporation manages all of society with flawless efficiency, and once Leah opts-in to the terms of service, she'll be one of the lucky ones enjoying the fruit of other people's labor, just as her parents planned. But Leah hopes to spend more time with Abel, the son of the Chief Operating Officer. Leah's feelings for Abel have grown stronger. Unfortunately, the corporation has different plans for the two teenagers. When the corporate security team brutally kills innocent bystanders, Leah is awakened to the corporation's ruthlessness, and realizes she's living in a dystopian nightmare. Now she wants nothing to do with her parents' world. Leah and Abel can only be together if they escape the city and make their way to the rumored settlements beyond the corporation's reach. Escape won't be easy: the corporation's artificial intelligence tracks all movement throughout the city, searching for suspicious activity. Their only hope is to connect with The Collective, the resistance group trying to overthrow the corporation and restore civil liberties. All they have to do is pull it off to find a new life.
