Matched

　　在「社會國」之中，官員決定一切，包括妳會愛上誰、擁有什麼工作、何時死去……

　　這是一個完美的世界，官員為人民安排生活，為人民分配工作，為人民精選「舊時代」遺留下來的文化，於是「社會國」擁有──精選名曲百首、精選名畫百幅、精選故事百篇、精選詩集百首，而沒有被選中的則被全數銷毀，永遠不復存在。人民對這種情況甘之如飴，因為官員表示這是為了「大眾利益」，這個說法很合理：當人們有太多選擇的時候，怎麼可能細細欣賞每一件事物？

　　愛情當然也是如此，最適合的對象會由政府幫你「配對」選出，而卡希雅一向相信官員的決定，與擁有長壽、完美工作、理想伴侶相比，這只是微不足道的代價。當她的青梅竹馬出現在配對螢幕上，卡希雅毫不懷疑他就是自己的真命天子……直到另一個男孩的臉龐在螢幕上一閃而過。

　　現在卡希雅面臨難以取捨的抉擇：溫柔、體貼、善良的薩德？或是神祕、背負罪名的凱伊？
　　一個代表著自己從出生以來所知的唯一生活方式，而另一個則帶領自己前往一個無法確定的未來。

　　她該選擇安定的完美生活？或是依照自由意志，做出自己的選擇，即使那是一條令人膽怯的路？

　　本書中譯版《配對 完美世界系列I》由尖端出版社出版。
