Publisher Description
Technology makes them superhuman. But mere mortals want them kept in their place. Enter a stunning world where technology and humanity clash in terrifying and surprising ways.
Some people are implanted with upgrades that make 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, 29-year-old Owen Gray discovers that his seizure-supressing medical implant is actually a powerful upgrade. Owen joins the ranks of a new persecuted underclass known as 'amps' and is forced to go on the run, desperate to reach an outpost in Oklahoma where, it is rumoured, a group of the most enhanced amps are about to change the world - or destroy it.

Great speculative fiction
While certainly not classic material, this is an easy to consume book that prompts questions about what our future might look like. It is an entertaining examination of the way technology affects us.
Average
I bought this book cause i liked the concept and I thought the social media advertising was creative. But as for the book itself, the plot was boring, the way things were described was boring, the way the story progressed was ... Boring. it takes nearly half the book just for him to activate his zenith. Just didn't entertain. If your looking for a good sci fi fix, this books blurb is more exciting than its content.
