So, hypothetically speaking . . .

I have a head cold, which I am blaming for the following weirdness.

mirrorthaw put in Peter Gabriel's greatest hits album, Hit, this evening, and as I always do when I hear it, I thought, "Man, 'Solsbury Hill' so has a story in it." But this time, the other songs ganged up and gave me one.* It's a YA sf semi-dystopian thriller/romance/bildungsroman (reluctant psychics! teenage soldiers! true love!), and my question to you is:

[Poll #1476892]

Of course, I reserve the right to ignore the poll results completely, but I'm curious.

*For the record, the playlist is:

"Jeux sans frontiers"
"Shock the Monkey"
"More than This"
"Solsbury Hill"
"Burn You Up, Burn You Down"
"Digging in the Dirt"
"Growing Up"
"Don't Give Up"
"Sledgehammer"
"More than This" (reprise)

Vigilant by James Alan Gardner has polygamy as the normal, traditional definition of marriage. The main character marries like ten other people, and it works fairly well for her.

Wouldn't really call it a romance, though. I actually liked that aspect: she has a functional, happy relationship and so it doesn't greatly enter the story about her job.
