YA
When an artificial intelligence program goes rogue, threatening to wipe out human life, Adam and five other terminally ill kids agree to integrate their brains into the bodies of weaponized robots designed to fight the threat. Based on cutting-edge science, the premise feels over-explained. Nevertheless, this YA debut offers a compelling exploration of the nature of humanity and the limits of science.
