About
It's 2121; the Heirs control society's resources from their lavish walled city-states. Through life extension, they live hundreds of years. Outside, the poor barely survive. Malcolm de Lazarus, twenty, is a "Not Yet," one counting on joining the elite. But when his fortune mysteriously disappears, he must sail to the chaotic New Orleans Islands for answers. On the way, he encounters the darkest side of Heirs' privilege, which threatens everything he knows and loves.

Discussion questions for The Not Yet

Bring these to your book club — or discuss them with readers on Readfeed.

  1. 1

    How does Moira Crone’s vision of a flooded, futuristic New Orleans in 2121 compare to the city’s actual history and culture, and how does the setting itself act as a character in Malcolm's journey?

  2. 2

    If radical life extension technology were available today, do you think it would bridge societal gaps or create even deeper divisions between the rich and the poor, much like the dynamic between the Heirs and the "Not Yets"?

  3. 3

    Malcolm begins his journey deeply invested in the privileges of the Heirs; what aspects of our own society or status symbols tempt us to buy into systems of inequality for personal gain?
