Len Vlahos
"YA science fiction at its best." – Jay Kristoff, New York Times bestselling author of The Aurora Cycle and Illuminae
"A unique and engrossing yarn." – Pierce Brown, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Red Rising Saga
From acclaimed Morris finalist Len Vlahos comes a grounded sci-fi story about a boy who’s more than human, perfect for fans of Westworld and LIFEL1K3.
Quinn thinks he’s a normal fifteen year-old. He plays video games, spends time with his friends, and crushes on a girl named Shea. But a shocking secret brings his entire world crashing down: he's not a boy. He’s artificial intelligence.
After Quinn "wakes up," he sees his world was nothing more than a virtual construct. He’s the QUantum INtelligence Project, the first fully-aware A.I. in the world—part of a grand multi-billion-dollar experiment led by the very man he believed to be his dead father.
But as Quinn encounters the real world for the first time, his life becomes a nightmare. While the scientists continue to experiment on him, Quinn must come to grips with the truth: his mom and brother don’t exist. His friends are all adults who were paid to hang out with him. Even other super computers aren’t like him. Quinn finds himself completely alone—until he bonds with Shea, the real girl behind the virtual one. As Quinn explores what it means to truly live, he questions who he can trust. What will it take to win his freedom . . . and where does he belong?
Award-winning author Len Vlahos offers a perfect blend of science fiction and contemporary in this unputdownable, high stakes tale that explores big questions about what it means to be human.©2020 Len Vlahos (P)2020 Bloomsbury Publishing PLC

Reseñas de la crítica
Hard Wired is YA science fiction at its best.
Len's vibrant prose casts a spell as he weaves many of the best elements of science fiction and myth together to create a unique and engrossing yarn. A page turner for sure, but one that haunts long after it has entertained.
Len Vlahos has penned a wildly inventive page-turner of a novel that cleverly blurs the lines between sci-fi and reality. It’s Blade Runner meets Ex-Machina with a delightfully complex narrator who will upload right into your heart and never leave.
Vlahos hard-wires his novel to an intimately human core. . . . Instantly memorable, compulsively readable.
Well-constructed and full of rich text, lovers of tech and sci-fi will enjoy this look into the possible future of AI. Readers will find this book engaging and hard to put down.
Vlahos deftly balances an initially familiar science fiction plot with a deep dive into relevant issues such as privacy, free will, and the characteristics of being human. . . . Page-turning yet grounded in humanity, this is a highly recommended purchase.
Hand this one to readers of Jay Kristoff and fans (or soon-to-be fans) of Black Mirror.
Readers interested in ethics and issues of AI and the human condition will find this a thought-provoking read.
Questions what it means to be an individual and self-aware. . . . Will win readers’ empathy.
Quinn's earnest efforts to fathom humanityand his fight to be accepted as a person with inalienable rights make Hard Wired a compelling and insightful read.
Vlahos does a compelling job of weaving science fiction into contemporary culture. He forces us to re-examine what makes us human, as Quinn struggles with questions about mortality, morality and freedom.
A powerful journey that will leave a lasting imprint on readers.
Bold, biting fare.
An unsettling rumination on the spectacle of tragedy.
Surprising, original, political, and deeply affecting.
Artfully blends the whimsical and the poignant.
A weird, sardonic delight with the shape of an allegory and the heart of a joyful song.
It will tear you apart, and yet it's an absolute joy.
A precarious, heartbreaking, and wholly 21st-century premise with a compulsively readable and well-plotted story.
Once again, Vlahos strikes all the right chords . . . You know these people and you want to know what happens to them beyond the story.
A brilliant exploration of intimacy in modern society . . . [H]umorous, while being poignant and haunting at the same time.
