The Balance (Sample Chapters from the Book and a New Appendix to the story) by MichaelSelden

People in the Land survived the destruction of the last world war only to have their lives disrupted again by a wayward asteroid that broke up to rain down on the planet, just as life had begun to regain a sense of normalcy. This second tragedy also disturbed the power-sharing arrangement between two leading factions that had helped rebuild the Land-the Council, and the Order-in an agreement called The Balance. The Council leadership exploited the chaos to drive the Order and its members into exile, ad they began banning the use of most modern technology, which the Council had long blamed for the war. Phoebe is the last remaining product of the Order's genetic engineering programs that still lives under Council rule. She doesn't understand why she's so different from everyone else, and struggles to survive, hiding what she is. The exiled Order members have realized she's in danger, and their leader sees a potential in her that could help them regain their place in society, and to re-establish The Balance. The Balance is Part 1 of a planned 3-part Story. The Balance was published in 2015 and is available in Hardcover, Paperback, and Kindle Editions

Selfie (a YA technothriller) by Derek-S-Murphy

Your next selfie. Your last breath. ☤☠♥ When cutting-edge nanotechnology creates a healthcare revolution, Brianna Harmond and her friends hack the government's project for their high school science fair, and create an app that can alter appearance with the swipe of your thumb. As the dangers of gene-splicing manifest in unpredictable ways, the band of misfits gain powers that border on the supernatural, while falling deeper into an underground world of DNA hackers and body modification. As her darkest secrets are made public and her techie research cripples her little sister, Brianna finds herself in a bidding war between the government and billion-dollar tech firms, and wrestling with new abilities that defy logic. In the right hands, their scientific discovery could save the world... but in the wrong hands it will end humanity. "A dystopian fantasy with a scifi twist that will keep you up all night." This is a near-future YA technothriller with LitRPG elements, but most of the action takes place in a contemporary high school setting. Things begin to fall apart quickly after the apocalyptic repercussions of book 1.
