Bloomsbury Publishing Plc Hard Wired
Book Synopsis"YA science fiction at its best." - Jay Kristoff, New York Times bestselling author of The Aurora Cycle and Illuminae "A unique and engrossing yarn." - Pierce Brown, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Red Rising Saga From acclaimed Morris finalist Len Vlahos comes a grounded sci-fi story about a boy who’s more than human, perfect for fans of Westworld and LIFEL1K3. Quinn thinks he’s a normal fifteen year-old. He plays video games, spends time with his friends, and crushes on a girl named Shea. But a shocking secret brings his entire world crashing down: he's not a boy. He’s artificial intelligence. After Quinn "wakes up," he sees his world was nothing more than a virtual construct. He’s the QUantum INtelligence Project, the first fully-aware A.I. in the world--part of a grand multi-billion-dollar experiment led by the very man he believed to be his dead father. But as Quinn encounters the real world for the first time, his life becomes a nightmare. While the scientists continue to experiment on him, Quinn must come to grips with the truth: his mom and brother don’t exist. His friends are all adults who were paid to hang out with him. Even other super computers aren’t like him. Quinn finds himself completely alone--until he bonds with Shea, the real girl behind the virtual one. As Quinn explores what it means to truly live, he questions who he can trust. What will it take to win his freedom . . . and where does he belong? Award-winning author Len Vlahos offers a perfect blend of science fiction and contemporary in this unputdownable, high stakes tale that explores big questions about what it means to be human.Trade ReviewHard Wired is YA science fiction at its best. * Jay Kristoff, New York Times bestselling author of The Aurora Cycle and ILLUMINAE *Len's vibrant prose casts a spell as he weaves many of the best elements of science fiction and myth together to create a unique and engrossing yarn.

Bloomsbury Publishing Plc Take Me with You
Book Synopsis"Repeatedly surprising and genuinely chilling." - E. Lockhart, bestselling author of We Were Liars and Genuine Fraud From the acclaimed author of The Leaving comes a new psychological thriller that challenges our trust in the electronic devices we keep close. Eden, Eli, Marwan, and Ilanka barely know each other beyond having a class or two together. But when they are all summoned via messaging app to an empty classroom after school, they find a small cube sitting on a desk. Its sides light up with rules for them: Do not tell anyone about the device. Never leave the device unattended. And then, Take me with you . . . or else. At first they think it's some kind of prank or a social experiment orchestrated by the school administration. Still, they follow its instructions until the newly-formed group starts to splinter. Nobody has time for these games--their lives are complicated enough. But the device seems increasingly invested in the private details of their lives. And disobeying its rules has scary--even life-threatening--consequences . . . This timely thriller probes our dependence on personal technology and challenges the notion that our devices are keeping us connected. The truth may very well be the opposite.Trade ReviewI raced through this supper-addictive, nuanced, puzzle of a book in a weekend. It's no ordinary thriller: repeatedly surprising and genuinely chilling. * E. Lockhart, bestselling author of WE WERE LIARS and GENUINE FRAUD *A blistering, plausible, paranoia-fueled tale about the monsters birthed by our digital footprints. * New York Times bestselling author Daniel Kraus *A high-energy story that allows for character growth against a backdrop that looks at digital technology, social media, and the dangers of data mining as well as issues of online privacy and artificial intelligence . . . An engrossing and topical techno-thriller. * Kirkus Reviews *Will keep readers guessing until the very end. . . . A fun and unusual mystery that teens will enjoy; give to fans of John Green’s Paper Towns and E. Lockhart’s We Were Liars. * SLJ on THE OPPOSITE OF HERE *Altebrando nails the staccato delivery of popular investigative podcasts like Serial . . . Extremely effective in landing emotional punches . . . Taut and thoroughly gripping. * Publishers Weekly, starred review, on THE POSSIBLE *The juicy premise is enough to draw mystery/crime fans, and Altebrando unspools details with a deft hand. * BCCB on THE POSSIBLE *This gripping tale, full of unexpected twists and turns, will intrigue readers who enjoy psychological thrillers with a touch of the paranormal. * SLJ on THE POSSIBLE *You will not sleep, check your phone or even breathe once you begin reading The Leaving. Altebrando hides a meditation on memory and identity inside a top-speed page-turner. I promise, you will not even look up from the page. * E. Lockhart, author of WE WERE LIARS on THE LEAVING *A twisting, harrowing story . . . Engrossing, both as a thriller and a meditation on memory--its limits, its loss, and the ways it deceives and constructs identity. * Publishers Weekly, starred review, on THE LEAVING *This is no mere thriller; folded into this compulsively readable work are thought-provoking themes. . . . Teens who enjoy engrossing, contemplative titles such as Adam Silvera’s More Happy Than Not will devour this insightful musing on memory and identity. * SLJ, starred review, on THE LEAVING *Altebrando provides a timely look at technology and the large role we let it play in our lives. A breezy thriller with some interesting angles about technology at the intersection of good and evil. * School Library Journal *Altebrando delves into the tensions of digital technology: its dangers, including data privacy, and its comforts. * Publishers Weekly *In Altebrando’s timely techno-thriller, the compelling mystery has a satisfying conclusion, but more rewarding is how these disparate teens find authentic, lasting connections with each other. * Booklist online *
