Description: Nissus by Carl Sorenson Humans-unmodified humans-are no longer dominant on Earth. In their place, the transhuman Bionics are using microscopic nanobots to adjust their genes, reshape their bodies, and perhaps even change human nature itself. Only in a few traditionalist communities do people attempt to live as they have in the past, resisting the allure of this new technology.In Petram, one such oasis, seventeen-year-old Agnes just wants to live in peace. But when her friends and then her family start to disappear, she knows that the time for complacency is over.Agnes must reunite her family and convince the rest of Petram to stand up to the Bionics. This takes her on a journey deep into the center of the Bionics power, the futuristic city of Nissus. Here, she discovers a surprising and troubling new world, where the Bionics seem to be able to control everything: weather, animals, perhaps even her own mind.Agnes is ready to fight for her home, but soon faces uncomfortable truths about what it will take. Will she truly do anything to save Petram? FORMAT Hardcover CONDITION Brand New Review "A One of its Kind SciFi Masterpiece...a sci-fi book that got the future of genetic engineering just right. Its a coming-of-age story with politics and a confounding world you will definitely find fantastic." - Book Nerdection"Sorensons measured story touches on myriad topical concerns...the author evocatively describes Nissus scenery-beautiful even when its virtual...-and develops an appealing lead character. She begins the story as a headstrong 17-year-old, but shes not so stubborn as to reject every opposing viewpoint; her willingness to tweak or outright change her beliefs is what truly drives this story...culminates in a rewarding ending." - Kirkus Reviews Details ISBN Author Carl Sorenson Pages 280 Publisher Phoenix Unchained Year 2023 ISBN-13 9798988169413 Format Hardcover Publication Date 2023-07-11 Imprint Phoenix Unchained Audience Teenage / Young adult We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
