- Reading
- Consider reading together or checking in after the family-history details. You could pause at Jaiden’s choice and discuss what information or values you think should guide a decision.
- Themes
- Family, care and control: Jaiden is raised by a corporation and wants the kind of home life he considers ordinary. The book’s stance on this remains unclear.
- Corporate responsibility and loyalty: Jaiden uncovers troubling truths about NECorp and must choose whether to remain loyal or side with new friends against the company. The book’s stance on this remains unclear.
- Worth knowing
- Jaiden’s biological parents were killed by a faulty product, and the company adopted him to avoid a lawsuit. That family loss and the circumstances around it may merit a check-in.
