Breathe is a young adult dystopian novel by Sarah Cossan that is set in a future where oxygen, as well as the domes that saved humanity, are all owned by a corporation called Breathe. Trees are gone and the oceans have died, leaving an environment outside of the "pods" that only has oxygen levels of about six percent. The interactions and relationships between three teenagers in this bleak future are the focus of the novel: Alina, the rebel; Bea, the auxiliary; and Quinn, the Premium. Each chapter is based on one of their points of view.
