    So if everyone can watch you all of the time, how is it fair to allow call-ins to report where you are? This sounds even more impossible than King's Running Man. (Yes I know that there are not degrees of impossibility.) At least they can't kill you. Of course, if someone starts a car chase...

    I had a similar thought as well. If the story in the book were set in today's world with the prevalence of cell phones, cameras and social media the runners would never have a chance. They'd barely make it out of the Games building much less across the country.
    Hearts are tough, she said, most times hearts don't break, and I'm sure that's right . . . but what about then? What about who we were then? What about hearts in Atlantis?

    I had similar reactions at first but when you take into account the show is not on prime-time network TV it won’t be completely unfair to the Runner. I think if this works it might be the next “game changer” in entertainment.

    I suspect that a disguise is not against the rules...disguise anytime one must venture into public... remove disguise when reporting in VIA video phone.


    ...that's what I would do.

    All that's left of what we were is what we have become.
