Truesight is a young adult and science fiction novel, by American author David Stahler Jr.
Truesight, a novel written by David Stahler Jr., takes place in the futuristic colony, Harmony Station, which is located on a foreign planet.
Deliveries are the rare occasions in which “seers” bring supplies or food from Harmony's Earth-based foundation located in Australia.
Harmony's rules state that every citizen must be inside their houses during a delivery following the curfew unless otherwise authorized.
He finds another of his friends, Delaney, who is the daughter of the high councilor, and his mother's prime music student, there too.
He grabs provisions from his house and exits Harmony “for good” [2] Critics have noted that Truesight’s “science-fiction theme” [3] deals with the role of society and hypocrisy.
Kirkus Reviews noted that “the conflict between individual and society” [4] plays a key role in Truesight.
[3] Publishers Weekly showed the hypocrisy thought describing how “his supposedly pious, tightly knit, morally upright community harbors thieves, adulterers, and hypocrites".
[5] Some critics like Kirkus Review called Truesight “an interesting concept marred by poor execution”.
[4] While at Dartmouth College working for his master's degree, David Stahler Jr. wrote his thesis "which turned into the novel Truesight"[7] soon after.
