Never Let me Go
Kazuo Ishiguro
This book is Science Fiction, but not as we know it. It doesn't concentrate on technical detail, (which is left up to the reader's own imagination), and reflects back upon relationships between childhood friends as they grow in to young adults. They were all at a boarding school together in the 80s, but this is no ordinary school, and the friends go on to have far from ordinary lives... It becomes a heartwrenching read, and raises disturbing questions about where technology could lead us as human beings. 'Never Let Me Go' is being made into a film starring Keira Knightly.
