I feel like the book revolves more on racist theme, Course yet people have to be out there running for their lives just because they are different.

I totally agree that one of the major themes presented in this book is discrimination because of their differences. I believe perseverance through adversity is also another one. The characters had to deal with the discrimination they were faced with from birth and be their very best.

It looks like the author, Mike L. Junior, has managed to create a compelling novel about an uncertain future that can sometimes be a little overwhelming. It appears that this novel has the right amount of fantasy, uncertainty and very colorful scenarios to follow along. I will be adding this to my ever growing pile of books to read :D

The most prominent themes were segregation and discrimination. The fear of the unknown and the judgemental behavior people have towards others who are different in one way or another even if this difference is beyond their control.

The themes of racism and discrimination are definitely strong themes which run throughout thus book. Many characters were discriminated ad prejudiced just based on color.

While racism is the main issue, I also can see the bigger picture of what it means to overcome adversity and deal with the hate that comes from being different (whether that be a different race, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, etc.). Books like this are also soooo important in helping other people understand how discrimination and racism affect someone on a personal level!

Apart from the theme of racism, other themes I sighted are determination, war, vengeance, and perseverance. They were determined not to be distracted by what they faced, and perseverance helped them to keep going.

I think a prevailing theme in the book is one of discrimination. The author shows a situation where those who stand out or who differ from the majority are persecuted by the normal. I felt this was a very interesting view and that it spoke to the fact that wherever you go humanity will always discriminate or move against anything they find different.

The main theme is the negative impact of technological advancements with the side tracks of racism towards abnormalities, social isolation and fear.
