Praise for Daniel H. Wilson’s Robopocalypse:
“It’s terrific page-turning fun.”
—Stephen King, Entertainment Weekly
“An ingenious, instantly visual story of war between humans
and robots.”
—Janet Maslin, The New York Times
“A captivating tale, Robopocalypse will grip your imagination
from the first word to the last, on a wild rip you won’t soon
forget. What a read. . . . unlike anything I’ve read before.”
—Clive Cussler, New York Times best-selling author
The New York Times best-selling author of Robopocalypse
returns with this riveting, imaginative techno-thriller.
Amped is a pulse-pounding epic that explores a pivotal
point in the near future when technology offers “amplified”
superhuman abilities to regular people.
On the day that the Supreme Court passes the first law
intended to restrict the abilities—and rights—of “amplified”
humans, 29 year-old Owen Gray learns that his own medical
implants have been quietly sharpening his intelligence and
altering his perception of reality for years. Owen is catapulted
into a new underclass of implanted citizens, commonly
referred to as “amps.” He also finds himself (based on a past
he never knew) unwittingly at the center of an revolutionary
human rights crusade that is eerily reminiscent of the civil
rights movement.
Amped is a sublimely entertaining and technologically
savvy thriller about the very human ways we interact with
technology, and the ways it changes us. Wilson once again
takes readers to the edge of conceivable science, and raises
the bar on page-turning action.
