Bogus to Bubbly

by Scott Westerfeld

October 2008

Read an Excerpt

The world of Uglies, set in our not-so-distance future, is a complex place filled with bubbly technology and lingo, yet bogus rules about status and appearance. That's why a guide to the world of uglies has been requisitioned from the hole in the wall. Inside you'll find:

  • A rundown on all the cliques, from Crims and Cutters to tech-heads and surge-monkeys
  • The complete history, starting with the destruction of the oil bug to the launch of Extras in space
  • How all those awesome gadgets came to be: hoverboards, eyescreens, skintennas, sneak suits…
  • PLUS an exclusive look at Scott Westerfeld's first draft of Extras — starring Hiro, not Aya.

And so much more, it's mind-wrecking.
