ABOUT VOX:
But
when the President’s brother suffers brain damage in a ski accident,
Jean is put back to work, at least temporarily. In exchange for her
help, she negotiates her and her daughter’s release from the word quota.
Set in a near-future United States,
VOX imagines a society in which women are allowed only 100 words
per day.
Every female child, teenager and adult has a wristband to keep
count, and for every word they go over their quota, they receive an
electric shock of increasing intensity.
To Dr.
Jean McClellan, who was a neurolinguist before all women lost their
jobs, words are not only a way to communicate but a source of identity.
And without the ability to freely express her thoughts, opinions and
emotions, Jean is afraid of who she—and her young
daughter—might become.
However, she soon finds that her research will not only be used to aid
the President’s brother. The government has an agenda even more
dangerous than the wristbands—and the effects will be permanent.
Jean
has no choice but to stop them, not only for her family,
but for a whole nation of women forced into silence.
