In a free society the right to critique art is essential and protected speech. These reviews reflect personal opinions and not statements of fact.

What We Think

Among the Hidden is a refreshingly non-woke dystopian novel, anchored in classic themes of individuality versus authority. It avoids the modern ideological trappings seen in many contemporary books.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Among the Hidden focuses on character and plot, not identity politics. Race, gender, and sexuality play no undue part in character choices or development; traits are rooted in personality and circumstance. The dystopian narrative isn’t compromised by modern ideological trends.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The book’s critique centers around government overreach and surveillance, not religion, family, or tradition. Family bonds and personal responsibility are actually celebrated as Luke navigates a hostile world to protect his family. No woke reinterpretation of traditional values detected.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative perspectives on freedom, obedience, and dissent are presented with some nuance. The villain is an oppressive government, not traditionalists or dissenters. There's little sign of monocultural modern moral messaging.
