A revolutionary new idea has been introduced by a giant company, Global-1, The Bar Code tattoo. It's a permantent tattoo that is like (you guessed it) a barcode. Everyone can get a unique one that will allow them to pay for things and it's supposed to make life easier. Or does it? Some people's have started not to work so they can't acess their accounts or money. It doesn't help that you can represent your genetic sequence in a barcode. Kayla is an outcast because she refuses to get the tattoo. She joins a group that are trying to resist the spreading of the tattoo and what might happen if everybody has it. Read The Barcode Tattoo to find out what happens to Kayla and the resistors.

I thought that this was a really good book. It's a good idea and the beginning and middle are really good. The ending isn't good though. It's a lot less than that. The ending just doesn't sit right. It's lame, but the book is really really good. Only the ending is bad.
