 * **[|Memoirs of a Teenage Amnesiac] by Gabrielle Zevin:**If Naomi had picked tails, she would have won the coin toss. She wouldn’t have had to go back for the yearbook camera, and she wouldn’t have hit her head on the steps. She wouldn’t have woken up in an ambulance with amnesia..
 * [|//Fracture//] by Megan Miranda:Eleven minutes passed before Delaney Maxwell was pulled from the icy waters of a Maine lake by her best friend Decker Phillips. By then her heart had stopped beating. Her brain had stopped working. She was dead. And yet she somehow defied medical precedent to come back seemingly fine....
 * **//[|Across the Universe]// by Beth Revis:** Amy is supposed to be in cryogenic stasis until her ship lands on a new planet. Unfortunately, someone wakes her up early and now Amy must try to figure out who is killing off members of the originally frozen colonists. A great science fiction mystery.
 * **[|//Uglies//] by Scott Westerfeld:** Tally learns that there may be more to life than the superficially happy one that her society has planned for her. A riveting new society with a strong, yet confused female lead.
 * **[|//Brave New World//] by Aldous Huxley:** Through chemical, scientific, and psychological engineering, society is now placid and useful. A classic.
 * **[|//Memento Nora//] by Angie Smibert:** In Nora’s world, everyone takes pills to forget their troubles. Will Nora get mixed up in a rebellion when she refuses to just swallow passively?
 * **//[|Epic]//** by **Conor Kostick**: Erik lives in a world where your whole worth is determined by how well you play the video game, Epic. When he decides to take an unexpected character his anonymity allows him all new freedoms.
 * //**[|Virals]**// by **Kathy Reichs**: Another great sci-fi mystery with a pack of kids who are no longer just kids…thanks to some wonky science.
 * //**[|The Maze Runner]**// by **James Dashner**: Waking alone in a strange and dangerous place, Thomas must forge alliances with new friends to discover the secrets of a giant maze, and to stay alive!
 * //**[|Unwind]**// by **Neal Shusterman**: It has the same sci-fi/dystopian ideas; "The Second Civil War was fought over reproductive rights. The chilling resolution: Life is inviolable from the moment of conception until age thirteen. Between the ages of thirteen and eighteen, however, parents can have their child "unwound," whereby all of the child's organs are transplanted into different donors..."
 * **//[|Inception]://** Directed by **Christopher Nolan**. Layer upon layer of dream states, amnesia, and confusion are interwoven in this fascinating and fantastically cinematic tale.
