Turnabout

So I finished Turnabout today because it was so interesting that I just had to finish it.

One of the things that sticks out in my mind is about how society in 2085 has no privacy. The reporter, A. J. Hazelwood, turns out to be a decedent of Melly and Anny Beth. The reporter is even named after the main characters. Her name is Annabeth J'amelia Hazelwood. A. J. was able to track down our characters because the computer reveals everything about the person. It's like when we search for a person on Google and a website pops up with their address, phone number, approximate age and direct family members. The difference in the year 2085 is that "Google" tells you occupation, hobbies, devout causes, bell button size, chest size, and more. These people have no privacy whatsoever. Also, when Anny Beth and Melly entered the Reserved land (forest), the police had them under video surveillance. If there was not a storm in some irrelevant country, then the police would have arrested our protagonists within the hour.

Another unexpected turn of the plot occurs when Anny Beth, Melly, and A. J. return to the Agency expecting to find the other Turnabout Project participants as children. They did not find anybody in the building expect for the receptionist and some scientists. What they learn is that all the people who stayed in the Agency died. They never made it to age 0. The scientists that are now in charge are not even trying to find the Cure that would stop the aging process, they are only trying to keep other scientists from discovering how to reverse the aging process. The new scientists did not feel responsible to find the Cure for the Turnabout participants. It is very possible that once the girls reach age 0, they could start over and live life in the normal direction. Nobody knows what to expect because the correlation between the test animals and humans is not very similar.
