Meet Jonas, an eleven-year-old boy who lives in a rigidly controlled society sometime in the future. In his “community,” there is no suffering, hunger, war, and, as you will soon see, no color, sex, music, or love. Everything is controlled by “the Elders,” right down to who you will marry, who you receive as children, and what you will be “assigned” as a job. Individual identity has gone the way of cassette tapes, and everyone is essentially just like everyone else. It’s almost time for Jonas to get assigned a profession. There’s a big ceremony at which the decisions are announced. Jonas watches all his friends get their jobs. The Chief Elder finishes the ceremony and explains that Jonas has been “selected” to be The Receiver of Memory.
