Ark City, a city-ship of mammoth proportions, holds constant vigil over the metropolis of Sallustria. This marvel of technology is the home of Ascension, an organisation who have successfully engineered a procedure that unlocks the full potential of the human brain. All Sallustrian citizens undergo mandatory testing at age 21 to determine their viability and, if they find themselves among the lucky few successful candidates, are permitted access to the floating utopia. 

But Liz and Derek, two strangers thrust together on their 21st birthdays, are about to discover that the idyllic paradise comes with a cost, one that Ascension have neglected to publicise. What began as a day of celebration will end in a whirlwind of conspiracies and revelations that threaten to upend the very foundations of Sallustria forever.(CC) Attribution-NoDerivs

ROGUE by Brein_Ouano

In a dystopian future where crime is snuffed out before it even happens, the world is under the shadow of the Reapers - hunter androids armed with predictive technology that can foresee criminal intent. Ruthlessly efficient and unwaveringly loyal to their programming, the Reapers serve as judge, jury, and executioner in a society that prizes order over freedom. 17-year-old Kayle "Kae" Hawthorne has always questioned the system, but her rebellious streak turns dangerous when the Reapers mark her as a "pre-criminal." She has no idea what crime she's supposedly destined to commit, but one thing is clear: she's now the hunted. Her only allies are her father, Inspector Samuel Hawthorne, a decorated ex-Special Forces operative turned cop torn between duty and family, and Benjamin, an unassuming housework android who proves himself to be far more capable than she ever imagined. As the Reapers close in, Kae uncovers chilling truths about their predictive technology and the shadowy organization behind it. With Benjamin's advanced intellect and her father's tactical genius, Kae fights to stay one step ahead while unraveling the conspiracy that threatens not just her freedom, but the future of humanity itself.

'Death never stops surprising you.' A sentiment Aria knows all too well. Her world on its surface is perfect. A completely enclosed ecosystem protected from the nuclear winter of the Outside World. No sickness, no famine, nothing to worry about. Nothing that is except for Spectre, the computer system that determines who lives and dies annually based on their importance to society. Somehow everyone around her seems to cope, but seeing as how Spectre has taken every member of her family, Aria struggles to fall in line with the status quo. Whether it's pressure from the powers that be, her first potential love, or full on revolution, Aria seems to be pulled in every direction, each one with drastic consequences, and no clue which way to go.
