Unwind, by Neal Shusterman (Simon and Schuster, 2007)

Not too far in the future, unwanted teenagers can be “unwound” for their body parts and organs. Three such teens run away to escape this fate, and eventually hook up with an underground organization dedicated to saving them from a living death. As they struggle to stay alive, they experience love, death, betrayal, horror, and discover some of the horrifying side-effects of the unwinding process. Dark and provocative, Unwind plays off of some all-too-real mindsets and a plausible set of outcomes, and contains one of the most disturbing sequences I’ve ever read. Another excellent offering from Shusterman.
