Review: Poor execution of a pretty good idea

I like Jace's other works, so I was looking forward to this. I was disappointed in the style. Characters talk to each other about things everybody knows in order to inform the reader. Even though information is tightly regulated, people in this dystopia know about iPhones and Star Wars - how much do 16 year olds today know about the world 30 years ago? And don't get me started on the X/Z ideas - if I had a zollar for every character named Zeinstein or Xitler...  Not his best work, by any stretch.
