I've tried this before but it was a while ago and we have loads of new members. Here goes, everything I can remember:
The main character is a bloke, about seventeen with, irrc, green hair.
The society are programmed to obey without free will, but some of them are still free thinkers, and the mc is one of them
There is a scene with an escalator where there's a pile up due to the non-thinkers not stepping past the first person who fell - the mc steps past it
I think he ends up going on the run as he's exposed as a free thinker, with a female companion
It may have been a female author
The version I had was hardback (probably a UK author, as borrowed from the library) and showed the mc on the front cover.
Any bells, anyone?
