Atoma and the Blockchain (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781393632689)

Just outside of Chicago my school air-shuttle crashed. Oh, they were able to rebuild me, and everything should have been fine. If only the artificial intelligence that controlled the robotic surgeon did not discover the secret my mother managed to hide for 15 years. Even from me! I woke up to discover I was no longer a citizen. I was not even legally human. I had no rights at all. They gave me a choice. I could live a short harsh life in a gulag on the tundra.

It wasn't difficult to decide which to choose, because I knew one thing they didn't... The big flaw in their plan. Me!
