Summary (optional): Imagine a world in which the United States fought a second civil war, this time about abortion. The nation was torn in two to such an extent that the US Military, acting as a mediator, proposed the Unwind Accords, a treaty which was intentionally designed to be so horrifying that it would shock the sides out of fighting each other and snap out of the stupor. But then this plan backfired and it backfired hard when both sides agreed to the treaty and the "War of Life" was over. You see, since it was such a polarized issue, every sort of government function began to break down, including public schools. This lead to mass amounts of teenagers to being stuck on the streets and so they naturally decide to organize and work to end the war in any way they can. The US Government sought to remove two birds with one stone: find a solution to the war and find a solution to the gluttons of children assaulting them into actually doing their jobs. The Unwind Accords allowed parents to chose to "Unwind" their children if they ever became a problem or they decided they no longer desired them. "Unwinding" was where the person was essentially taken apart, piece by piece, and divided up for organ donation. Except for one extra stipulation: the person is still alive, only fractured to the point where each part of their body holds a sliver of their personality. The story takes place in this society which has adapted to the idea of absolute compliance or unwinding being used as a more "permanent" solution to troublesome children.
Also, to answer Viri's question, mde made a book review thread, although this thread serves a similar function it is not quite the same role, as this thread could be visited first to receive recommendations for books before a person delved too far in depth into the meat of the book.
