The Bar Code Prophecy

The Bar Code Prophecy (Bar Code, #3)
This is the third book in a trilogy. I have not read the first two, and I don't plan to. In this book, a company called Global 1, which began by making GMO foods (Monsanto?), expanded to creating genetically modified animals and inventing a bar code tattoo to put on people which includes genetic information and when the tattoo is put on, nanobots are injected into the person's bloodstream which enables GPS tracking of that person. Some native Americans have a tablet with a prophesy about a girl who will bring down Global 1. That girl, unbeknownst to herself, is Grace. When she turns 17, she gets the tattoo and then the world begins to change. I felt like Grace's character was a bit flat and some of the dialog a bit stilted. The book is short and was interesting, but not great.
