Almost Human: The Girl Who Didn't Want to Change. The Boy Who Couldn't Help It (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798282422498)

My name is Zoya, but I think of myself as Zee.

My father says I am privileged and spoiled. The part of me that is Zoya agrees with him.
But the part of me that is Zee thinks he's full of it.

That part of me hates the world I was born into-a world where success is measured by how many robotic upgrades you can afford. A world without mercy for the sick, the weak, or the old. A world that confuses perfection with progress, and humanity with inefficiency.

My father says I'm lucky to be his daughter. After all, he's the CEO of UPGRADE Corp.-a man who has replaced and enhanced most of his body over the years: his heart, his liver, parts of his spine, his knees... but most importantly, the sections of his brain that control hearing, vision, and information processing.

So I often ask myself... is he still my father? Or is he just the sum of his upgrades?
And do I want to become someone like him-someone willing to sacrifice anything to live longer? To stay at the top? To forget what it means to care about anyone but yourself?

He says I'm a fool. Maybe I am. But at least I'm still human. And I want to stay that way.

So, tonight, I run.

Before they can change me. Before I lose who I am.

In a world where robotic upgrades define your worth, one girl refuses to lose her humanity. Perfect for fans of YA dystopian science fiction, cyberpunk rebellion, and futuristic coming-of-age stories, this novel explores themes of identity, control, family, and resistance in a world where technology has gone too far.
