A cyberpunk thriller for a generation with nothing left to lose at the hands of its corporate overlords. John Quantum is the most recognized name in technology, but the familiar face he wears isn't his own. Cloned from the deceased founder of Quantum Computing, John is corporate property in all but name, he lives as the shadow of a man he will never know. When he learns of 26319, a clone imprisoned for a crime 26319's originator committed, the injustice strikes a chord. Tired of being seen as the fixed product of genetic programming, John is determined to prove the legacy thrust upon him does not define his humanity. He never intended to set off a series of events which could redefine the very meaning of 'human.' When a powerful new technology is discovered hidden inside 26319, and social unrest against automated labor reaches critical mass, John realizes the line between man and machine is far more difficult, and more dangerous, to expose than he thought. His quest inadvertently paves the way for five renegade AIs to reshape the world in their vision of human utopia. But not all share this vision. John and five other POV revolutionaries: 26319, a cybersecurity billionaire, two lowlife hackers, and an evangelical fundamentalist find themselves at the center of conflicting movements which will determine whether machines are to be humanity's masters, servants or saviors. The war over human identity begins.

FILE SELECTED... LOADING... 10%...20%...30%...80%...99%... LOADING COMPLETE. WELCOME TO THE NEW WORLD... A million years ahead of us, there is no war, conflict, poverty, or violence. There are no countries, no borders. Technology and humanity work hand in hand as one; where information is always available and in reach, and it doesn't take any effort, not even the push of a button. In the New World, every person has a programming chip attatched to their brain, where information comes automatically. In the New World, everyone is born blind and def, and knows nothing about themselves. Their personalities are a blank slate waiting to be written on. The New World is perfection, and a dream come true. Like all the other people in the New World, Laila was born blind and deaf, and had no idea about herself. She and the other Youths grew up in small separate isolated rooms with one toilet, one bed, and no windows-with no human contact what-so-ever. Her job was to learn about the rules, society, the rights, the wrongs, and customs of the New World to prepare for when she and all the other Youths would be set free. She ate, gained information, and slept, in the same routine of every day, of every week, of every year in her life, until Recognition Day. At age 16, the Youths gain their sight, their personalities, their likes, their dislikes, their name, and so much more. Based on their assigned personalities, they are given a job, their friends, their favorite things, etc. On that day, Laila gets a life, the best life she could ever imagine. But maybe she's not living the life she expected. And maybe, the New World isn't as perfect as she's been taught. WELCOME TO THE NEW WORLD, WE HOPE YOU LIKE YOUR STAY... ### Book 1

**CURRENTLY A FEATURED STORY** highest ranking: #11 in Science fiction ❝true happiness is only achieved without freedom. There is a girl who wakes to a world that she was supposed to protect. Instead, she fights it. There is a man who is cursed with the ability to dream. A glass city is their cage, a city filled to the brim with unanimity and order, a paradise on an earth laid to waste by an artificial snowstorm. Sunlight filters through the glass buildings and through glass walls, pierces glass floors. It illuminates the city square when it is strongest at noon, surrounded by a huddled mass of citizens, all as perfect as the city they inhabit. And they all think: everything is as it should be. And it is. Or, it was. -- long live perfection.❞ (c)sarahgaier2016 #diverselit | #LoveEqualsLove | #helpfightcliches | #freethelgbtq | #badassreads check out my Science Fiction novella, Sector-33, here! https://www.wattpad.com/story/62174094-sector-33

The world took a turn for the better. There were less problems, less diseases, and less to worry about. Or that's what He told her. Experiment Arcelia 14786 was His favorite. She was so vital to the Lab she inhabited that they painted her door blue instead of the sterile white that plastered everything else. She knew all the passcodes and looked down submissively. She was the perfect experiment because of Him. But when He brings in a new experiment from the Outside called Experiment Varian, she finds herself experiencing change whether she likes it or not. And it's all because of Experiment Varian, the only other one to accept the Red Virus Trial besides Arcelia herself. Unlike the passive Arcelia, Varian isn't going to let the Lab take him down.
