Summary THE UNIT is a gripping exploration of a society in the throes of an experiment, in which the 'dispensable' ones are convinced under gentle coercion of the importance of sacrificing for the 'necessary' ones. Ninni Holmqvist has created a debut novel of humor, sorrow, and rage about love, the close bonds of friendship, and about a cynical, utilitarian way of thinking disguised as care.
