Payne & Joie by Rose_Vincent

Joie is a failure of science. At least to her father, a once-renowned geneticist, she is. Where Joie was supposed to be tall, she is short. Where her eyes are supposed to be green, they are strange yellow-gold. Where she is supposed to be smart, she is simply... average. Joie is left trying to find meaning through her art and the consequences of being genetically altered. But when a fellow "failure" -a golden-haired boy calling himself Payne- presents evidence of others like her, Joie knows she cannot stand and wait around for her father to come back any longer. Especially when her father's actions go too far. UPDATED EVERY DAY Instagram: RoseVincentWrites

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.

The Global Fellowship: Prelude to The Infinitus Saga by ChristianeJoyAllison

HE HAS NO CHOICE. SOMETIMES, DOING WHAT'S RIGHT MEANS RUNNING AWAY. Earth was once in chaos, divided between hundreds of warring nations. Now, united in peace and maintained through a worldwide computer system known as the GRID, the Global Fellowship provides all citizens free access to food, housing, education, and medical care. In return, citizens allow the GRID to use their brains as temporary servers. Those who don't contribute are the disconnected, shirkers who live destitute and on the edge of starvation in a world where GRIDcoin is beyond their reach. After his parents' sudden death, Arthur Mallorey, a severely-disabled teenager living in the largest shirker camp in Central Continent, knows he has to find a way for him and his sister to survive. Battling pain and exhaustion, he looks for salvation in the very heart of the Community he was raised to fear. Ranked as high as #4 in Genetics, #8 in Global, and #2 in #EhlersDanlosSyndrome. This piece is a prelude novelette for my upcoming 2020 SciFi (cyberpunk), Dystopian novel - Infinitus. This book will also soon be available in print and e-book. All rights reserved.

Leah is among the few chosen to survive. But losing her family and the physical changes caused by the modifications leave her devastated--she hates looking in the mirror at the creature she's become. She's transported to The Farm to be with others of her kind, but when she sneaks from the compound one night, she meets a boy, a human boy, seemingly unaffected by the radiation, who reveals a wild conspiracy theory about the genetic modifications and the very nature of the magnet field failure.
