Hovercraft, weather control, and other forms of technology play a key role in The Hunger Games, a bestseller about a fight-to-the-death TV show — with unwilling “volunteers” — in the distant future of North America.
The K-State Book Network (KSBN) has chosen The Hunger Games as their focus book for Fall 2010. In addition, K-State faculty are incorporating it into their classes this fall using some technology of their own.
Part of the attraction may be today’s (Aug. 24) release of the third book in the trilogy, Mockingjay, which stands at #1 on Amazon.com’s Bestsellers list. Last night, the K-State Student Union Bookstore had a midnight release party to welcome the new book.
The second book, Catching Fire, was published in 2009 and is still #10 on Amazon’s list.
