Proxy (2013) is set in a future where class divisions have hardened into a system of literal debt. Rich kids have proxies, poor teenagers who absorb their punishments, from beatings to prison time. When Syd’s patron Knox commits a crime that carries a death sentence, Syd has to flee, and Knox finds himself dragged along.
The series is a fast-paced dystopian thriller that deals with economic inequality, personal freedom, and the question of who owes what to whom. The sequel, Guardian, continues the story after the events of the first book upend the social order.
