(Written in an effort to avoid any spoilers from beyond Chapter 2)
Chapter 2 starts out by talking about Jael's sister Jade. Although the question hasn't come up yet, I'm expecting at some point to be asked if Jade is based on an actual sister of mine. The answer is no; I actually don't have any sisters.
Jade is actually a conglomeration of a lot of people. Jade is unfortunately representative of way too many people I come across; be it on the internet or in real life.
If you read closely what you will notice most of the statements about Jade aren't exactly true, especially as you read on in the book. The book states "She does not ask questions". If you read carefully later on you will note that Jade does ask questions. She doesn't ask the questions that those who are being selfish don't want asked. All Jade's questions are self-absorbed. They aren't deeper questions about making the world a better place.
The next line states "She has never questioned her bubble". There is a lot that could be said about that. But it again relates to what the powers that be want; unquestioned authority.
Then it says "She doesn't judge". But as you read on you will find that this also is not true. It is just that Jade's judgments fit in better with a selfish self-serving society, than Jael's does.
I also mention she talks about the generosity and good of the corporations. I think this line might be more self-evident. This isn't to say all corporations are bad. But there are many bad corporations doing bad things, while pretending to do good things or doing minimal good things that don't make up for the bad things they are doing. Worse yet, even in today's America, whistle blowers who report bad things that corporations (or the government) are doing are usually left to suffer for doing the right thing.
And that's the first paragraph of chapter 2 for you! If you don't have the book you can buy it below. And please share your comments and questions on chapter 2!
