Divergent

Book • 2010
In a post-apocalyptic Chicago, society is divided into five factions: Abnegation (selflessness), Amity (peacefulness), Candor (honesty), Dauntless (bravery), and Erudite (intelligence).

The story revolves around Beatrice 'Tris' Prior, who leaves her Abnegation family to join the Dauntless faction.

Tris's aptitude test results are inconclusive, marking her as Divergent, a secret she must keep hidden.

As she undergoes the rigorous initiation process of Dauntless, Tris faces physical and emotional challenges, including simulations that test her courage and wits.

She also develops a romantic relationship with her instructor, Four (Tobias), who is also Divergent.

The novel explores themes of identity, selflessness, bravery, and the complexities of a rigid societal structure, culminating in a climax where Tris and Tobias must stop a mindless uprising against Abnegation orchestrated by the Erudite faction.
