Assess Of Books Amped

As a fan of Wilson's work (Roboapocalypse and Robogenesis) I was looking forward to reading this book, and boy was I not disappointed. Portraying a world I feel we aren't too far away from, Wilson weaves a fascinating tale of implanted super humans and the consequences this brings. Amped (RRP $19.99 from Simon and Schuster Australia) opens a few years after people have started receiving implants for both medical reasons and pure enhancement. Owen Gray has received an implant in his brain from

Amped is the latest offering from Portland, Oregon's best selling author Daniel H. Wilson. DHW is most known for his previous works "How to Survive a Robot Uprising" and "Robopacalypse". Neither of which this reviewer has read. Meet Owen Gray; schoolteacher, former epileptic, son of an implant doctor, implantee. In short, he's an amp. A growing class of citizens who for one reason or another has had a medical implant surgically placed into their brains. Amps are conveniently...errr...easily



Exciting and thoughtful. Brought up a lot of ethical issues that have parallels in today's America.

Its still too early to call Amped by Daniel Wilson the stupidest, most badly written book Ill read this year, but its the worse so far. Its absolutely retarded. The plot is unrealistic and dumb, the writing is godawful, the characters are paper thin and entirely forgettable, the dialogue painful, the romance reeks of YA dipshittyness, and there are so many idiotic and drawn-out violent fight scenes that I wonder if Daniel Wilson is perhaps thirteen. The utter crappiness of this book amazes me

Owen Gray is one of thousands of people who are amps, which is a person with a neural implant. For Owen the implant is to control seizures he suffered as a result of an accident he had as a child. Others get the implants to boost intelligence, control ADHD, and overcome autism just to name a few uses. As the number of amps increase, the backlash starts to grow by pure humans who feel they are at a disadvantage. When the Supreme Court rules that amps are not a protected class of people, Owens
