Original Syn by Beth Kander
Fifty years after the Singularity, the world is divided into two populations locked in a cold war: Synthetic Citizens, or Syns, human-computer hybrids with extraordinary enhancements and potentially infinite lifespans; and Originals, the individuals who did not merge their bodies with the machines. But the decades-long battle between Original and Syn is almost at an end, because the Originals are on the verge of extinction. One of the only young Originals left in the world, Ere, knows he might someday be the very last of his kind. But when he meets a beautiful, powerful Syn girl called Ever, he questions everything he's ever been told about his lifelong enemies. Original Syn is a rich, dangerous world of family secrets, free will, forbidden love, and all of the unexpected peril that arises when aggressive technology meets stubborn humanity.
"In the future of Beth Kander's Original Syn , singularity has been achieved, leading to two branches of humanoids:Originals, who are deprived of technological enhancement; and Syns, enhanced humans who are physically agelessand connected to vast networks of knowledgeThe two groups oppose each other in perpetual warfare, the origins ofwhich have long been forgotten. With superior technology, the Syns are winning, while the Originals are ever-diminishingin number . . . The novel's disparate worlds are revealed slowly, and the story is sophisticated enough to engage both adults andteens. The book maintains a taut pace to the end, concluding with a plot twist that turns the tables and stimulatesinterest in a second volume, soon to come." -Foreword Review
