So I have a few little issues with the worldbuilding, but overall, a fun read. We suspect from the outset that The Game is really something else and we are eventually allowed to figure it out with the group from boarding school. One of the things I especially enjoyed was how Hughes gives us a group ...
Set in a dystrophic 2154, a group of high school graduates have failed to find jobs. The government ships them off to a designated area where they will get minimal food and money but have to scrounge for anything like a mattress.

But there are too many people and not enough jobs, and they are each left unemployed, on the dole, and at a loss for how to live in a highly regimented society with no place for them. They quickly learn hard lessons...
