The author begins his novel by thrusting the reader into the strange world of the future. In Tally's world, something has happened to modern society, creating a world where people live according to their level of beauty. Uglies are children who have not reached the age of sixteen when the surgery to make everyone pretty takes place. These uglies live in dorms in a place called Uglyville. After the surgery, new pretties are moved to New Pretty Town where they are allowed to party and generally have fun all day long. The next step is Middle Pretty when the older pretties begin to choose professions and train for those. These pretties also have children who stay with them in the suburbs until they reach school age and are moved to Uglyville. Finally there are the older pretties, referred to as Crusties, who live in the outer suburbs. At each step of life pretties are given operations that help maintain their beauty.
