Divergent is a Dystopian novel. This means it takes place in some future society. I know this because the author tells us where it is (Chicago) and this government is nothing like Chicago today, or what has ever happened there. Also, there is future technology demonstrated. There is no way, as of today, to tell what kind of a person they are and what they are good at in only a short meeting.
The author directly tells us that the place is Chicago. In some ways I think this is good, but in some ways I don't like it. I like being able to picture it, and be able to describe it easier, but I don't like how it doesn't leave much up to the imagination. However, since this is taking place in the future, we can assume that many things have changed.
To finish the blog post, I would like to suggest clicking here if you are interested in learning more about the connections to present day Chicago.
