Instead of impending annihilation, she becomes a science experiment because Berk, her former Pod mate and friend, who is in training to become a Scientist, manages to convince the Scientists to preserve her life. When she can no longer contain herself, and she is determined to be a threat to the rest of her Pod, she is removed to be annihilated. She feels things through her music, even though she knows she shouldn’t. Yet she can’t help but feel that there is so much more to music. She is her Pod’s designated musician but music is supposed to serve a specific purpose and that is to stimulate productivity of other Pod members. Hiding is becoming increasingly difficult though, especially when she player her music. She is also aware that being different is dangerous, so she hides it as best as she can. Thalli knows she is different she has known for a long time.
A protagonist, a hero, a plot with highs and lows, problems that need to be solved and an unexpected twist. She hears stories of a Designer-stories that fill her mind with more questions: Who can she trust? What is this emotion called love? And what if she isn’t just an anomaly, but part of a greater design?Īnomaly contains everything a reader expects in a good story. The more time she spends in the Scientist’s Pod, the clearer it becomes that things are not as simple as she was programmed to believe. But before that can happen, Berk-her former Pod mate who is being groomed as a Scientist-steps in and persuades the Scientists to keep Thalli alive as a test subject. Seen as a threat to the harmony of her Pod, Thalli is taken to the Scientists for immediate annihilation. Thalli has kept her malformation secret from those who have monitored her for most of her life, but when she receives an ancient piece of music to record as her community’s assigned musician, she can no longer keep her emotions secreted away. The Ten scientists who survived the nuclear war that destroyed the world above believe that emotion was at the core of what went wrong-and they have genetically removed it from the citizens they have since created. Thalli is different than others in The State. The toxic gas that will complete her annihilation is invading her bloodstream. Thalli has fifteen minutes and twenty-three seconds left to live.
