A YA novel by Neal Shusterman. A long time before the book started, there was a war called the Heartland War between the pro-life and pro-choice sides. The government compromised by making it illegal to abort a baby, but children ages 13-18 can be "unwound", where all their body parts are donated to other people. Connor, a troublemaker from Akron, Ohio, is going to be unwound. He decides to run away and hitches a ride with a truck driver. His parents find him and he escapes the "juvie cops", or police who specialize in catching runaway "unwinds," and runs into Risa and Lev. Risa has been consigned to unwinding because, at a State Home, or StaHo, her piano skills were not good enough and they needed to cut costs. Lev is a "tithe" -the 10th child of a rich, religious family who gives 10 percent of everything. Brought together by chance, and kept together by desperation, these three unlikely companions make a harrowing cross-country journey, knowing their lives hang in the balance. If they can survive until their eighteenth birthday, they can't be harmed — but when every piece of them, from their hands to their hearts, are wanted by a world gone mad, eighteen seems far, far away.A sequel, called UnWholly, was released on August 28, 2012. A third novel, UnSouled, was released in 2013. The conclusion to the series, UnDivided, was released in 2014. A novel with short stories from the universe, UnBound, was released in 2015.An novella, called UnStrung has also been released as an e-book. It tells the story about how Lev became a clapper.Constantin Films has the rights to the movie, though it's been trapped in Development Hell for quite some time. | |

| Unwind / int_14beeefd | comment |
Darker and Edgier: While Unwind is already pretty dark and edgy, UnWholly keeps the stomach-turning premise and adds more explicitly sexual content, cursing, and a brand-new illegal organ trade. And then in UnSouled, Connor is forced to smoke tranq bullets and Risa calmly stabs a guy with a pitchfork (granted, it was in self-defense, but it's still jarring). | |

Feghoot | |
| Unwind / int_1759af2f | comment |
Feghoot: The urban legend of Humphrey Dunfee, whose father was one of the most prominent advocates of unwinding. Said father was all but forced to unwind Humphrey, but completely snapped afterwards, trying to track down every person who received an organ from Humphrey. Unfortunately for him, "All the king's horses and all the king's men couldn't put Humphrey back together again." The story isn't completely false, and in the end, all the recipients are gathered for a reunion of sorts. | |

Messiah Creep | |
| Unwind / int_2c5a1cee | comment |
Messiah Creep Connor gets this over the course of the series. In UnWind, he takes over the Graveyard and the care of the AWO Ls who live there, but with no Christ-like undertones. UnWholly adds betrayal by Starkey, who he had adopted into his inner circle and an attempt to sacrifice himself for his followers. Most of UnSouled involves him being persecuted by Proactive Citizenry and the Juvenile Authority while fostering the burgeoning social movement against unwinding. And of course, UnDivided has his unwinding and subsequent "resurrection." Lev to a lesser extent. Not only is he occasionally called 'blond Jesus' in the later books, he becomes a quasi-religious figure to the rescued tithes at the Cavenaugh Mansion and gets himself shot, planning to sacrifice himself to bring attention to the evils of unwinding. He even gets 'crucified' in the first book! | |

Even Evil Has Standards While the government chases down runaways, they spare the handicapped, regardless of age. Risa takes advantage of this after the explosion at the graveyard paralyzes her. Connor is also spared after the same explosion costs him an arm and eye, which a nurse replaces with Roland's and is given a fake ID to further this. Apparently even parts pirates refuse to unwind mentally disabled people. | |

Create Your Own Villain The juvie cop that Connor tranqs with his own gun loses his job and his wife and becomes an object of national ridicule, causing him to become a parts pirate and blame Connor for ruining his life. Of course, juvie cops aren't exactly heroes to begin with... Similarly, Argent was of questionable moral standing, but it's his run-in with Connor that gives him the nudge he needs to be a full-fledged villain. | |

| Unwind / int_38d12399 | comment |
Teens Are Monsters: Horrifically deconstructed in book two. During the Heartland War, many teens, with their present and future lives potentially ruined beyond repair, took to the streets to protest, and were viciously cut down by cops armed with newly-invented tranq bullets. The media categorized them as "Feral Teens" and this heavy sensationalization is implied to have led to the rushed passage of the Unwind Accords, with the express purpose of eliminating this "Terror Generation," morality be damned. | |

Love Dodecahedron: In the first book, Connor may have had something with Ariana before Risa got into the picture; Roland also vies for her attention, but it's really more to rile Connor up. In UnWholly, Cam develops feelings for Risa as well, but she doesn't return them. Later, Cam falls in love with Una, who initially hates him because he was given the hands of her unwound fiancé, Wil. | |

Body Horror | |
| Unwind / int_504a1991 | comment |
Body Horror: Unwind gives a first person account of an unwinding from Roland's perspective. The surgeons systematically cut their patient apart while they are still alive and conscious, (but on anesthesia) so they never legally "die", starting with the legs and ending with the brain. In Unnatural Selection, from UnBound, it's revealed that the Dah Zey do human experiments on kids who aren't unwound. Such lovely experiments include a boy with hands on his feet, a girl with four eyes and four arms, and another boy with ears instead of eyes. | |

Future Slang | |
| Unwind / int_60441d9 | comment |
Future Slang: Lots of it. A "boeuf" is a young person looking for military service. To be "storked" means having a baby left on your doorstep. Children raised by parents who adopted them this way are referred to as "storks." "Kicking-AWOL" means running away in order to escape Unwinding. "ChanceFolk" is the politically correct term for a Native American. "SlotMonger" is the politically incorrect term. "Umber" is the new word for African-Americans, while "Sienna" is the new word for Caucasians. "Lily-sienna" means a blonde-haired, blue-eyed person. "Low-cortical" refers to those with special needs. "Caps-lock" is used as a modifier in order to emphasize something. | |

Teen Hater | |
| Unwind / int_61ad6989 | comment |
Teen Hater: All of society seems to have turned against teenagers. From ages 13 to 18, it is legal for parents to have their teenage children "unwound", which means to be dissected alive and have 100% of your body used as living organ transplants. Parents can have their teenagers unwound for being a troublemaker, being born the wrong gender, being mentally ill, being a financial burden, as a religious sacrifice, to spite their ex in a divorce—in fact, legally they don't need a reason; all they have to do is sign off on the order and the Juvey-cops will take their "troubled teen" away to a harvest camp, no questions asked. A special police force exists specifically to hunt down Unwinds who "kick-AWOL" (i.e. run away) and deliver them to the harvest camps. It is revealed that after the Heartland War, the teenagers who protested the terrible state of society were labeled "Feral Teens" and the "Terror Generation", and the Unwind Accord was signed into law so the government would have an excuse to get rid of them. | |

Better to Die than Be Killed Hayden and his techies to a man choose to suffocate in the burning heat of the ComBom rather than turn themselves into the Juvies to be unwound. Starkey begging Connor to strangle him so that even if he's harvested, he can never be unwound. Connor also wonders if the ostrich he hit was trying to end it on his own terms. | |

And I Must Scream | |
| Unwind / int_a8a04f6f | comment |
And I Must Scream: It's quite possible, though never fully confirmed, that you're still alive after being unwound. This is, in fact, the entire point. If not all Unwinds, then certainly Tyler, the Unwind who is about 1/8 of CyFi's brain, though that's an atypical case. Still, Tyler is definitely conscious to a degree, and what's worse, doesn't even know he's been unwound. Not only that, but CyFi did not receive a part of Tyler's brain that uses words, and is trapped, unable to think using words. The process of unwinding itself is a lot like this. The process is finally shared with the reader from Roland's point of view as he's being unwound. The person feels no pain, but is fully conscious for the entire procedure. Roland's thoughts get progressively simpler until all that's left is an ellipsis. | |

Unspoken Plan Guarantee While Connor and Risa are being chased by an officer. At the end of UnWholly, Connor's plan is well-laid out and heroic. Starkey's is selfish and hidden from the audience.

Refuge in Audacity: The idea of unwinding itself is an accidental example.

20 Minutes into the Future | |
| Unwind / int_f32d85ab | comment |
20 Minutes into the Future: Specifically, after "The Heartland War" broke out over the legalization of abortion. Certain current cultural references are referred to as "pre-war", such as Mr. T and iPods. Biomedical technology seems to have advanced the most, including the eponymous Unwinding technique. | |

Suspiciously Similar Substitute | |
| Unwind / int_f5a3e496 | comment |
Suspiciously Similar Substitute: Played with in the second book with Starkey, a boy who is being unwound for delinquency (much like Connor). Ultimately subverted, though. He's a much worse troublemaker than Connor ever was, not to mention he's perpetually defiant and even takes to militant action and lets Trace die. | |

Perp Walk | |
| Unwind / int_f5d2e441 | comment |
Perp Walk Connor is paraded around Happy Jack when he arrives in order to humiliate him and break the spirits of the kids already there. It galvanizes them instead. Fretwell also gets one when he's brought back to the reservation. | |

Organ Theft | |
| Unwind / int_f6370d13 | comment |
Organ Theft: Unwinding refers to the process of killing teenagers and donating all their body parts. The worst part is that it's legal and government-sanctioned. And then there's the formation of parts pirates in UnWholly. | |

The Fundamentalist | |
| Unwind / int_f76842b1 | comment |
The Fundamentalist: all the (religious) parents who believe in tithing their children. Straw Affiliation: No real fundamentalists actually believe in tithing children, at least not as human sacrifices. Sending them to live with a monastery, perhaps, but not human sacrifice. | |

Attempted Rape | |
| Unwind / int_f85354eb | comment |
Attempted Rape A parts pirate has unsavory intentions for Risa beyond selling her body parts. And then she gets him to impale himself on a pitchfork. She also takes on three would-be rapists in an alley in Omaha. Ouch. Roland attempts to assault Risa while they're on the way to the Graveyard, though we don't know if he was actually planning on following through or if he just did it to provoke Connor. | |
