Jen | 2 comments Hi. I'm looking for a book I read in middle school. It is sort of dystopian mixed with a false, forced utopia. It's set in a futuristic city, all civilians are required to wear steel ID bracelets that let them check in from place to place, and get daily injections of "something" that keeps them complacent.

(view spoiler)

Thanks!!

The Giver for Megan's click.

Daphne | 247 comments Sounds more like This Perfect Day by Ira Levin to me. TV Tropes mentions the "steelies" and it shows up in a Google Books search for that book too.
