The Divergent Trilogy is a series of dystopian fiction/science fiction novels by American novelist Veronica Roth. It tells the story of a future version of Chicago where society is divided into factions, including the selfless, the peaceful, the honest, the brave and the intelligent. One day every year, all 16 year-olds are given a test that will determine the test they fall into and they must decide whether they are going to stick with their family or transfer to a new faction. A “divergent” is someone who doesn’t fit into any of the various factions. The rights to the series were purchased by Summit Media and is being adapted into a film series starring Shailene Woodley and Theo James.
