商品描述内容简介Technology makes them superhuman. But mere mortals want them kept in their place. TheNew York Timesbestselling author ofRobopocalypsecreates a stunning, near-future world where technology and humanity clash in surprising ways. The result? The perfect summer blockbuster.
As he did inRobopocalypse, Daniel Wilson masterfully envisions a frightening near-future world. InAmped, people are implanted with a device that makes them capable of superhuman feats. The powerful technology has profound consequences for society, and soon a set of laws is passed that restricts the abilities—and rights—of "amplified" humans. On the day that the Supreme Court passes the first of these laws, twenty-nine-year-old Owen Gray joins the ranks of a new persecuted underclass known as "amps." Owen is forced to go on the run, desperate to reach an outpost in Oklahoma where, it is rumored, a group of the most enhanced amps may be about to change the world—or destroy it.
Once again, Daniel H. Wilson's background as a scientist serves him well in this technologically savvy thriller that delivers first-rate entertainment, as Wilson takes the "what if" question in entirely unexpected directions. Fans ofRobopocalypseare sure to be delighted, and legions of new fans will want to get "amped" this summer.媒体推荐Raves for theNew York TimesBestseller
Robopocalypse
“An ingenious, instantly visual story of war between humans and robots.”
—Janet Maslin,The New York Times
“It’s terrific page-turning fun.”
—Stephen King,Entertainment Weekly
“Robopocalypsereminded me of Michael Crichton when he was young and the best in the business. This novel is brilliant, beautifully conceived, beautifully written (high-five, Dr. Wilson) . . . but what makes it is the humanity. Wilson doesn’t waste his time writing about ‘things,’ he’s writing about human being— fear, love, courage, hope. I loved it.”
—Robert Crais, #1New York Timesbestselling author
“Robopocalypsewill grip your imagination from the first word to the last, on a wild rip you won’t soon forget.”
—Clive Cussler,New York Timesbestselling author
“The parts of this book enter your mind, piece by piece, where they self-assemble into a story that makes you think, makes you feel, and makes you scared.”
—Charles Yu, author ofHow to Live Safely in a Science Fictional Universe
“Robopocalypseis . . . a gripping, utterly plausible, often terrifying account of a global apocalypse. . . . [The novel has] heart, in the form of character arcs, wherein heroes learn and change and grow, and we get to root for them.”
—Cory Doctorow, BoingBoing.net
“AnAndromeda Strainfor the new century, this is visionary fiction at its best: harrowing, brilliantly rendered, and far, far too believable.”
—Lincoln Child,New York Timesbestselling author ofDeep Storm
