quick and compelling
RESISTANCE is the seventh short story in Susan Kaye Quinn’s young adult, post apocalyptic, dystopian STORIES OF SINGULARITY sci-fi series- a companion series to the author’s SINGULARITY series. RESISTANCE is a pre-quel short story that focuses on dancer Kamali LeClair.
SOME BACKGROUND: Following the ‘Singularity’ that resulted in most of the world’s population transforming themselves into a hybrid known as the Ascended, the few remaining humans become what is known as the Legacy-the true descendants of humankind. Every year a ‘creative Olympics’ is held, and the winner is offered the opportunity to become one of the ‘ascended’, a human/robot hybrid but a human who sacrifices their very soul.
Told from first person perspective (Kamali LeClair) RESISTANCE follows Kamali LeClair, a dancer of extraordinary talent who refuses to attend the creative Olympics rebuking the possibility of an immortal life. A recent dance competition netted Kamali another first place standing, a standing that catches the eye of the Resistance, a group who live on the periphery of society, defying the ascenders in an effort to maintain their own humanity. Enter Tristan, a member of the Resistance, who makes Kamali an offer she will not refuse.
RESISTANCE reveals a little bit of background history and the events leading up to Kamali’s acceptance and participation in the Creative Olympics (Singularity Series). A quick and compelling short story RESISTANCE focusing on the philosophical idea of everlasting life as the expense of losing one’s autonomy and one’s soul.
