Amped
Amped | Daniel H. Wilson
2 posts | 14 read | 4 to read
Technology makes them superhuman. But mere mortals want them kept in their place. The New York Times bestselling author of Robopocalypse creates a stunning, near-future world where technology and humanity clash in surprising ways. The result? The perfect summer blockbuster. As he did in Robopocalypse, Daniel Wilson masterfully envisions a frightening near-future world. In Amped, people are implanted with a device that makes them capable of superhuman feats. The powerful technology has profound consequences for society, and soon a set of laws is passed that restricts the abilities—and rights—of "amplified" humans. On the day that the Supreme Court passes the first of these laws, twenty-nine-year-old Owen Gray joins the ranks of a new persecuted underclass known as "amps." Owen is forced to go on the run, desperate to reach an outpost in Oklahoma where, it is rumored, a group of the most enhanced amps may be about to change the world—or destroy it. Once again, Daniel H. Wilson's background as a scientist serves him well in this technologically savvy thriller that delivers first-rate entertainment, as Wilson takes the "what if" question in entirely unexpected directions. Fans of Robopocalypse are sure to be delighted, and legions of new fans will want to get "amped" this summer.

Mehso-so

I listened to Robopocalyse ages ago and fell in absolute love with it. Like, needed an analog copy of it love.

Finally got around to #Amped, and honestly wasn't super in love. Maybe it was that we only really followed one character. Maybe it's just my weird messy feelings about the technology in the book. Maybe I was just more distracted than when I listened to #Robopocalypse.

Well thought through story about what could be the next step in bio implants. Everybody agrees to help people to overcome their handicap, but it doesn't stop there. Somehow a real life version of X-Men. Awesome read
