| 1 | !! [[Literature/TheProgram The book]]: |
| 2 | * GutPunch: The book starts out pretty bleak, [[spoiler:but when Miller dies, everything quickly goes to hell.]] |
| 3 | * TheWoobie: |
| 4 | ** All the teenagers. Imagine living under constant threat of having all your memories, even the good ones erased, if you show the slightest hint you're not perfectly happy... |
| 5 | ** For that matter, the adults, in a way. Most of them, at least, seem to sincerely believe the Program is helping, and just don't want their kids to die. |
| 6 | * TooBleakStoppedCaring: James and Sloane are both lovely people, but the setting and tone is very, ''very'' grim, with most adults being [[AdultsAreUseless useless or worse]], and [[BreakTheCutie every sympathetic character getting put through the wringer]], with ''very'' few moments of happiness to break up the TraumaCongaLine. [[spoiler:And most of the people responsible for this hell ''[[KarmaHoudini get away with it]]''.]] It ain't for everyone. |

| 8 | !! [[Film/TheProgram The movie]]: |
| 9 | * RetroactiveRecognition: The film stars Creator/HalleBerry in one of her first major film roles, but well before she rose to Hollywood superstardom. |
