Uglies
Scott Westerfeld, 2005
A future city gives everyone beauty surgery at sixteen—and Tally starts asking what gets removed along with the flaws.

Uglies appeared in 2005, three years before The Hunger Games, and helped turn YA dystopia into a shelf of its own.
Feels like identity, society and curiosity.
Every civilisation leans on one thing. What happens when it is taken away?
Maybe they didn’t want you to realize that every civilization has its weakness. There’s always one thing we depend on. And if someone takes it away all that’s left is some story in a history class. Books by Scott Westerfeld
