Jasper Fforde‘s Red Side Story, the long-awaited sequel to Shades of Grey: The Road to High Saffron, dives back into world of Chromatacia, where a person’s social status is based on their color perception. In this dystopian setting 500 years in the future, the Purples are the ruling class, while the Greys are peasants at the bottom, deprived of privilege and made to do the grunt work. The various shades of red, blue, and yellow are in the middle, with each group grasping for a bit of power.
