HTML:<b>Technology makes them superhuman. But mere mortals want them kept in their place. The <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author of <i>Robopocalypse</i> creates a stunning, near-future world where technology and humanity clash in surprising ways. The result? The perfect summer blockbuster.</b><br /> As he did in <i>Robopocalypse</i>, Daniel Wilson masterfully envisions a frightening near-future world. In <i>Amped</i>, 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.<br /> 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 <i>Robopocalypse</i> are sure to be delighted, and legions of new fans will want to get "amped" this summer. Science Fiction. Thriller. Fantasy. Fiction. Media Type: Audiobook.
