Sincerely, Anonymous takes place far in the future, after war has wiped out a grand portion of the human race. A new government in erected - a totalitarian system called The Panel that chooses the Careers of each citizen. The story is told by an anonymous individual (going by the pseudonym Lilly) through her letters to a girl named Annabeth. Annabeth has already had the procedure done: a surgery that takes away your memories to make you fully invested in the Career in which The Panel has chosen for you. Lilly decided the best way to convince Annabeth to join her cause is by gaining her trust, merely by telling the story of her final months before her Procedure, and her involvement with a secret organization called the Black Tens, serving to take down the Panel and diminish the memory swipe.

A hundred and fifty years from now, parents will give up their children to the government at birth. This is due to mandatory DNA scanning that will determine every detail of the child: personality, talents, weaknesses, eye and hair color, and any disabilities. Parents then "shop" for the type of child they want. After they purchase their child, they raise that child as their own. The children that are not chosen by the age of three are deemed "the forgotten" and sentenced to a life of servitude to the government. This has been the way of the world for one hundred years. Fifteen year old Eris-6-11 is one of the Forgotten. Her life changes forever when she gets a chance to leave the Compound forever. Best Science Fiction rank: 75
