Lia has it all*beauty, a boyfriend, the most popular friends, a wealthy family, and a ViM (virtual machine) full of networked friends and a lifetime of vids. But in a blink of an eye, all is lost when an accident nearly kills her. Lia’s last memory as a human is the smell of burning flesh* When she wakes up in a hospital, Lia is relieved to find out she survived that freak accident, but her nightmare only starts to begin when she realizes the truth. She is no longer human, but a mech-head, a skinner... What exactly is Lia Kahn now? Does she still have human rights, or are those rights reserved? Her friends, her boyfriend*even her family don’t know how to treat her. Lia is caught between being a futuristic monster with the memories of a once real person and trying her hardest to be the only person she knows how to be. Intense, thought-provoking and realistically written, this book takes the reader into the future and how changes of the power of technology in our daily lives alter us.” Full review on my blog: naomibates.blogspot.com Naomi Bates Northwest High School Library Justin, Texas nbates@nisdtx.org 817-215-0203 -------------------------------------------------------------------- Please note: All LM_NET postings are protected by copyright law.
