STARTERS is set in a world in which teensrent their bodies to elders who want to be young again. What a fascinatingconcept!
I guess everyone has wondered how it wouldbe to be someone else for a day. Not necessarily a young person but someoneelse. I, for example, would be interested in being a man for a day just to figureout how their minds work, among other things…Maybe you would like to be in thebody of a rock star for a day? To stand on stage in their stead? Or maybe be inthe body of a famous model to see how it is to be stared at?
Wouldn’t that be fascinating?
But is it really just a fun experience?After all, STARTERS is a dystopian, so there have to be disadvantages. Many ofthem.
I wouldn’t want to rent my body to someoneelse. I’d be worried about what they’d do with it. And my body is mine. I’dhate to give up control over it. But that’s exactly what Callie does inSTARTERS. Scary!
And what if I got stuck in the foreign bodythat I’d rented? Would I really want to live in that body until I die? I don’tthink so.
I’m sure there’s much more to the bodyrenting topic than what I just said, so if you want to find out how it is torent your body to someone else, you’ll have to read STARTERS!
