She left social media for six months in the middle of the pandemic, a time when many relationships were sustained by social media. To write "Poster Girl" and understand how Sonya felt cut off from society, Roth challenged herself to re-evaluate her relationship with her phone and the internet. The Delegation monitored its citizens through the use of Insight, an ocular implant that tracked a user's words (think a portable and inescapable Big Brother). Her face is an uncomfortable reminder of the Delegation, the surveillance state that had once ruled over the Seattle-Portland area: Sonya was literally a poster girl for the regime's propaganda posters. Instead of watching civil liberties get chipped away, "Poster Girl" charts the process of a society healing - and Sonya Kantor, the book's main character, is the kind of person who stands in the way of that healing. "'Poster Girl' is about what happens after a dystopian regime falls," Roth told TODAY in an email interview. Her upcoming mystery novel, "Poster Girl," almost falls within the dystopian genre, but not quite - rather than set in a futuristic autocratic society, it's set in the aftermath of a revolution. Veronica Roth, author of the "Divergent" series, made a name for herself writing dystopian novels. Pricing and availability are accurate as of publish time.

The path Sonya takes to find the child will lead her through an unfamiliar, crooked post-Delegation world where she finds herself digging deeper into the past - and her family's dark secrets - than she ever wanted to.Shop TODAY is editorially independent. Sonya, former poster girl for the Delegation, has been imprisoned for ten years when an old enemy comes to her with a deal: find a missing girl who was stolen from her parents by the old regime, and earn her freedom.
And everyone else, now free from the Insight's monitoring, went on with their lives.
Its most valuable members were locked in the Aperture, a prison on the outskirts of the city. For decades, everyone in the Seattle-Portland megalopolis lived under it, as well as constant surveillance in the form of the Insight, an ocular implant that tracked every word and every action, rewarding or punishing by a rigid moral code set forth by the Delegation. Sonya Kantor knows this slogan - she lived by it for most of her life. By the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Divergent, Poster Girl is a haunting adult dystopian mystery that explores the expanding role of surveillance on society - an inescapable reality that we welcome all too easily.
