Twenty-nine-year-old high school teacher Own Gray had long ago come to terms with the tiny device in his head, which was implanted to control seizures he suffered in his youth. It was a necessary, if uneasy, relationship; Owen's "amp" gave him a normal life, even though he questioned where his brain ended and the computer began. Thousands of " amplified" humans shared the sensation and yet their devices eradicated learning disabilities, controlled prosthetic limbs, and minimized neurological disorders. But when the Supreme Court rules that "amplified" humans like Owen are not protected by the same basic laws as pure humans, his world is downtown Pittsburgh instantly fractures. All around him society begins to unravel, and a new class war is on the verge of erupting. Before he can get his bearings, Owen receives desperate news from his father, the doctor who originally implanted Owen's "amp." He confides a dangerous secret: Owen's "amp" isn't what he's always believed. It has the potential to do something extraordinary and there are people who will come for him, and want to kill him, for what is in his head. There are no rips, tears or fold over of the pages. Normal wear on the dust jacket.
