Publisher Description
She was raised to fear them. Now she's become her own worst enemy…
America, 2055. Cass is equal parts excited and nervous to leave her Sapiens Movement enclave. Stepping away from her technologically-conservative family for the first time, she sets off for college with dreams of saving humanity. But as the Sapiens girl falls for her cybernetically-enhanced roommate, her deeply programmed beliefs begin to glitch…
Confused in a world that no longer makes sense, Cass barely registers the horrific accident that leaves her near death. When she wakes up, she discovers the same technology she's always hated is the only thing keeping her alive. No longer purely human, Cass questions everything she thought she knew about good and evil.
As tensions between man and machine head for a meltdown, Cass must choose a side before the conflict turns deadly…
Cyber's Change is the first book in the heartfelt Sapiens Run cyberpunk trilogy. If you like strong female characters, dystopian futures, and exploring what it means to be human, then you'll love Jamie Davis's thought-provoking novel.

A Cybertech Version of Human Intolerance
This is an interesting take on human intolerance from a cybertech viewpoint. It serves as an analog for a broad range of despicable human behaviors from slavery and subjugation to fascism and anti-semitism to more recent examples of white supremacy, violence against LGBTQ+ individuals, and the establishment of religion-fueled laws to establish “acceptable” behavior. The first step in demonizing a group of people is to define them as “subhuman” and therefore unworthy of rights of consideration. The plot of this story is rather predictable, but the chilling events are sadly representative of the potential ugliness of human nature.
A different kind of story about people with cybernetic implants
The usual storyline for this sub genre is all about the technology. This one is simply about the people and some of the implications this type of technology could bring. A good read overall but not all the characters are ones you would want to know
Amazing
I can easily see something very similar happening in the future. Cass struggles to understand and deal with everything that she’s been led to believe might be wrong.. The backstory slows the plot at first but then it takes off. I am now very excited to see what is going to happen next. I highly recommend this book and was provided an ARC for an honest review.
