Exotiqa M Black

The second YA SyFy dystopian thriller released by debut author M. Black, this Divergent meets iRobot will appeal to a vast array of audiences. Filled with haunting questions of life and death, consciousness and artificial intelligence, identity and self-awareness, politics and love, the reader will be engaged in an entertaining story which takes several twists and turns before the culminating conclusion. Set in the year 2055, of British Columbia, Canada where humans are part robotic and robots are becoming more humanlike, the line dividing the two becomes less clear. When seventeen year old Fione meets Maci, a twenty-one year old Flexbot who escapes from ImaTech located at the crust of the Coast Mountains, Fione's life is taken on a roller coaster ride of events that begins with trying to save Maci from ImaTech corporation and ends with trying to save the country. With her best friend and love interest, a Flexbot named Pix, Fione and Maci must come face to face with the greatest dangers their country has ever seen and learn the disturbing secrets of the popular online program Exotiqa which her friends, family and most of the country has downloaded into their Cerebral Slabs. Told from two points of view, Maci's and Fione's, this dystopia is filled with plenty of futuristic technology and tells a story of a world that could eerily represent our own one day. Fans of Divergent and Hunger Games will love this dystopian world with two young but strong female heroines who must save the fragile system crumbling around them. This story will even satisfy those looking for something with more philosophical themes and is a perfect fit for the scifi, artificial intelligence and robotic interested readers. Flexbot dialogue is told in Synchro Let text and human dialogue is told in Baskerville text.
