Book 1 of The Uncommon Series, the bestselling tech startup thriller trilogy.

Mara Winkel is rock climbing, mountain biking, and 'studying' her way through school at the University of Colorado, Boulder.

But when her best friend James asks her to partner with him to start a disruptive new software company she discovers that the world of technology startups is fraught with intrigue, adrenaline, soaring successes, and scorching failures. It turns out this is especially true when your technology threatens entrenched drug cartels.

Mara has to juggle mysterious investors, opaque partners, critical customers, and a team that is as brilliant as it is dysfunctional until only one question remains: win or die.

-----

"Insanely cool... a gripping roller coaster ride through the world of tech entrepreneurship. Tears you out of your seat and into a brand new genre, the startup thriller. Watch out, it will hijack your free time through to the last word. More, please?"
-Brad Feld, Managing Director at Foundry Group, founder at Techstars

"What Lara Croft was to archeologists; what James Bond was to spies; Mara Winkel is to startup founders.  If you are a entrepreneur, investor, or fan of Shark Tank, this novel is for you."
-Dr. Sean Wise, Professor of Entrepreneurship at Ryerson University, Director at Dobson Micro-Financing Seed Venture Fund

"Electrifying, smart, and accesible. It's like Michael Crichton writing a story about Steve Jobs. This is the adventure for anyone who ever dreamed of starting something in their garage." 
-George Eiskamp, CEO at GroundMetrics Inc.

Hacking the Sun [Old Version] by NineLight

[Highest Ranking #49 in Science Fiction] Jessica Leibniz tried being a normal teenager, but unlike most teenagers, she can tell time without a clock. She still wears a watch, but it comes with incriminating A.I. software. It's part of her fashion sense-if you call a mix of 80's nostalgia, geekism, and jagged hair a fashion sense. Otherwise, you have a normal, nineteen-year-old girl who delivers pizza and tacos by day and hacks cybersecurity networks by night. All the while, she turns heads, probably because she performs her job on a gravity board, which is relatively unorthodox in a future where aliens rule the planet. The alien takeover could have ended more violently, but there's irony in how efficient and peaceful Earth has become a hundred years later. Corporations still reign supreme, but aliens lie at the top of the social ladder. Azareans they call them, overlords who've constructed a new kind of city for the modern world. The Eden: a modern megapolis. Accustomed to life in the modern city, Jessica has learned to embrace challenge when it comes her way. Without a cause, she confides in her three friends or smacks into boredom. And when she seamlessly cracks an uncrackable corporate security algorithm, nothing makes sense. Faced with world-turning revelations, the life she's led seems trivial next to a hundred-year lie and tragedy.

ZERO (Complete) by EdwardMullen

Against many people's fears and warnings, A.I. started off as an innocent project spawned by the curiosities of scientists and tech entrepreneurs alike. It eventually evolved into a complete robot uprising. It has been 5 years since the Automation War has ended. Billions of lives have been lost and disrupted. Society hardly resembles that which we once knew. The remaining survivors have attempted to pick up the pieces of their once shattered lives. Learning from their mistakes of the past, A.I. has been outlawed and strict measures are in place to protect the human species from extinction. Out of the rubble, a new government has formed and risen to power. They call themselves The Shadow - a group of anonymous hackers who control every aspect of civilization. They monitor its citizens through chip implants, which measure every aspect of their lives from their happiness, productivity, and overall contribution to society, etc. Low performers are systematically round up, and shipped off to be executed. In a hyper-connected world where every move is tracked and even predicted, nine strangers must figure out how to stop this group and restore order in the world. *** A cyberpunk thriller set in a futuristic world.

ROGER [Wattpad Version] by veelozada

But all good things come with a price. What no one knew about the program meant to mimic the human mind, was that it wanted the human soul. Because no utopia can be built on truths, and no amount of sublimity can cover lies.

The Race by MoonSnowCloud

[Completed] [Young/New Adult Action/Adventure] - - - What would you do if you were forced to participate in The Race, a competition where death is a possibility? If you refuse, you'll die. You have no choice but to try your best. You meet your team, you receive your special job, and you train for two weeks. Then, all too soon, The Race begins... Will your team take home seven million dollars? Or will you die trying? - - - "Two elite teams of eighteen year olds are being formed from people around the world. Each team is made of members with different skills and different backgrounds, all extraordinarily talented. They will each be given a different set of clues that lead to one end goal: seven million dollars. The players will be hurt, tested physically and mentally, possibly even killed. This is The Race." - - - Excerpt: "Now then, I don't expect us to play a get to know you game but, I mean, if we are going to be relying on each other throughout this thing, we need to at least be friendly. How about everyone says their name, occupation, and where they're from?" There was a pause for a moment as everyone stared at this pink-haired girl with an English accent. "Alright, fine. I'll start. My name is Maybelle, I am a chef and as you should be able to tell by my accent, I am from London." "I am Aralee, I am a singer and I am from Italy! I'm so excited to meet and become friends with all of you." "I guess I'll go next," the model-like girl spoke. "My name is Naomi, I am from Egypt and I am a model." Guessed it. "I am Cami, from Canada. I'm a barista," spoke the red-haired and green-eyed girl. "Lark, Russia, musician," said the blonde. "Asia, Hong Kong, and I am a certified genius." "Oh, uh, my name is Harper. I am from the U.S. and I am a dancer."
