UnBound is the most recent addition to the Unwind series and was written by Shusterman, Michelle Knowlden, Jarrod Shusterman, Terry Black, and Brendan Shusterman. A second novel titled UnWholly was released in August 2012, a third titled UnSouled in December 2013, and a fourth titled UnDivided in October 2014. A film adaptation of Unwind was in production, but Shusterman announced in January 2020 that a television series would be developed instead. It received the Best Book for Young Adults award. Unwind received positive reviews upon release, with praise focusing on the novel's immersive environment and sociological implications. The reasoning is that, since 99.44% of the body is used, unwinds do not technically die because their individual body parts live on. After the Second Civil War, which was labeled "The Heartland War", was fought over abortion, a compromise was reached, allowing parents to sign an order for their children between the ages of 13 and 18 to be "unwound" - taken to "harvest camps" and dissected into their body parts for later use. It takes place in the United States in the near future. Unwind is a 2007 dystopian novel by young adult literature author Neal Shusterman.
