Higher status results in the implanting of more infopacks, which contain science, history, etc etc. The 'devil on my back' of the title are infopacks that the residents of the dome have implanted in the back of their necks. The aim of the dome is to preserve human knowledge and discover and learn more. A computer carefully optimises life for the inhabitants, and assigns them to roles based on aptitude tests - some are Lords, some workers, some slaves and some soldiers.
I wish I'd read it when I was 12, because I think it would have really clicked into my core canon, but I actually found it fun and insightful even though it was simple and based on a lot of ideas I'd met many times before.ĪrcOne is a post apocalyptic society who live in a dome. Usually when I say 'I wish I'd read this book at the right age' it's because I'm about to write 'because now I'm a grown up it's too hard to see past the flaws and fall in love with it', but that was totally not the case with this one.
