Synopsis

In a post-apocalyptic, dystopian society, health authorities implant a chip in the brain of every infant to prevent the spread of disease. But the rulers exploit the chip to manipulate the population and to create a distorted vision of the world. When Kal, a young physicist, accidentally discovers the truth about the chip, his life is in danger.

But Kal is not alone. Amber, a young, chipless girl from a distant society, who is on a personal mission, helps him to get away before the city police find him. The knowledge that Kal holds is a potent weapon against the tyranny of the rulers, and he has no choice but to join Amber and her fellow rebels in fighting them.

Kal and Amber escape together from the city, but the hunt for them is on. They must travel through dangerous, lawless territories to reach a safe destination. It’s a race in which time is running out for Kal. If they don’t make it in time, both his life and the hope of fighting the city tyrants will be lost.

Review

I received a copy of this book from the author for free and I am leaving a review voluntarily.

I really struggled with this. 
The synopsis sounded so interesting and I was keen on it but it just fell flat for me. This story felt rushed. There was very little world building and the characters were very one dimensional. Kal made so many decisions that made zero sense; things that put him and Amber directly into harms way. 

In all honesty, this story really needed more time spent on it. Because of this, it felt generic and unoriginal and I felt absolutely nothing for the characters. The mad scientist taking over the world bit has so many different layers that can be explored instead of one dimensional exploration.
