The Giver is a dystopian novel written by Lois Lowry. It follows the story of Jonas, a young boy living in a seemingly perfect society where everything is controlled and emotions are suppressed. As Jonas begins to uncover the dark secrets behind his community, he questions the cost of sacrificing individuality and freedom for the sake of stability. While not explicitly transhumanist, The Giver raises thought-provoking questions about the potential consequences of a society that seeks to eliminate pain and suffering.
