Ripley Patton's Blog, page 11

Elijah wants to become an ascender, a human/machine hybrid, but he’s a living museum, preserved for his genetic code. The Legacy Human explores the intersection of mind, body, and soul in a post-Singularity world.
“This book is Hunger Games (without the violence or controversy) meets Divergent.”
The Legacy Human is the first in Susan Kaye Quinn’s new young adult science fiction series that explores the intersection of mind, body, and soul in a post-Singularity world… and how technology will challenge us to remember what it means to be human.
