Go (Another) Stuy Kid!
"Stuyvesant student Isamu Fukui is in a class by himself
While most high school seniors are putting the final touches on their college applications, one 18-year-old Stuyvesant student has published his first novel. "Truancy," Isamu Fukui's futuristic offering, has just hit the shelves and is already causing a stir in the sci-fi community. "It's about a student rebellion against the government of a city that rules through education," explains the young author from his Chelsea home. "It's about a fight for student empowerment, a clash of ideas, and the consequences of escalating violence." - Daily News
"At age 18, Isamu Fukui is a man with a mission; he believes that the education system in America is 'fundamentally flawed.' But unlike the average high school student, Fukui is doing something about it. His first novel, Truancy, was just published by Tor Books, and the senior at Manhattan’s Stuyvesant High School has also finished a prequel." - Publisher's Weekly.
Anybody know this guy? Or, for that matter, read the book yet? I'll try to pick it up later in the week.
