But those who survive it experience long-term effects no one has ever seen before: utter contentment. Soon after infection, people find the stress, depression, greed, and other negative feelings that used to weigh them down are gone. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMore and more people begin to revel in the mass unburdening. But not everyone. People in power--who depend on malcontents and prey on the insecure to sell their products and convince others they need more, new, faster, better everything--know this new state of being is bad for business. Surely, without anger or jealousy as motivators, productivity will grind to a halt and the world will be thrown into chaos. Campaigns start up to convince people that being eternally happy is dangerous. The race to find a vaccine begins. Meanwhile, a growing movement of Recoverees plans ways to spread the virus as fast as they can, in the name of saving the world. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIt's nearly impossible to determine the truth when everyone with a platform is pushing their agenda. Three teens from very different backgrounds who've had their lives upended in very different ways find themselves at the center of a power play that could change humanity forever.\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Neal Shusterman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Simon \u0026amp; Schuster Books for Young Readers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2\/4\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 528\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.27 lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8.74\" H x 5.98\" L x 1.73\" W\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9781534432758\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Uncle Jon's Book Factory","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47023076343962,"sku":"9781534432758","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0707\/3015\/4138\/files\/9781534432758.jpg?v=1774801900","url":"https:\/\/unclejonsbookfactory.com\/products\/all-better-now-neal-shusterman-hardcover","provider":"Uncle Jon's Book Factory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
