And Then What?

The book we were given, The Giver, seems to also be another claimed utopian society. The more I read, I believe it will turn into a dystopian world overtime, like Brave New World. According to the back of the book, the world is "perfect". War, fear, and pain are no more. Hence the title, I believe this will involve something being given to someone. Possibly knowledge of the truth, possibly material items?
