Everyone who's heard of it usually knows the story. Jeremy Heere is a Junior of Middleborough High School. His social standing was nothing to great to show off. In fact, some would rather not even go to school if they were as much of a loser as he is. But when he gets his hands on a small, grey pill, it all changes. This pill, as you all know, is called a Super Quantum Unit Intel Processor. SQUIP for short. It's this piece of nanotechnology that's in an oblong pill and, when taken, travels through your blood and inserts itself into your brain. Why would it do this? To complete it's purpose. Said purpose is to help it's host achieve what they want in life. Like many others, Jeremy uses it to become popular in school and win over the girl he's been crushing on. At first, it seems like any high schoolers dream. Heck, even some Middle schoolers. But, of course, it doesn't go all according to plan. If you've seen any sci-fi movie you know that the technology would try and take over the world for whatever reason it believes. The Squip, thinking it's helping Jeremy, tries to put a Squip in everyone in the school. Wanting everyone to be the best person they could be. Not, "The Pitiful Children" he sees humans as. And with this there is always a happy ending. Since Squip is the bad guy here, he's deactivated and Jeremy gets the girl. That's good right? Isn't that what people want? But that's not why your here is it? Whether it because you feel bad for him, you think he's hot, he's a cool type character, or all the above, you want him back. See what it would be like for him to have a change of heart. What if you had that chance? A chance to see a part of him that isn't shown as much as you would want. A chance to give him something he never knew he needed. No matter if you've just seen the musical, watched the play, or own the book, this is the chance. The chance to give him something no one has given him before. A shot at Ⓡⓔⓓⓔⓜⓟⓣⓘⓞⓝ
A dystopian young adult novel involving romance, secret experiments on human subjects, and a group of teenagers' will to survive.

"I'm gonna gush about your book real quick...all the technology has a purpose and is beautifully explained so I can picture it in my mind...the whole concept of the book is completely original...*moment of silence for your beautiful arch of character development* everything your characters do is strictly them but they develop enough to show more about themselves without you straight up telling the reader about them" -Vairl9023
