She was raised to fear them. Now she’s become her own worst enemy… deeply programmed beliefs begin to glitch…
Confused in a world that no longer makes sense, Cass barely registers the horrific accident that leaves her near death. When she wakes up, she discovers the same technology she’s always hated is the only thing keeping her alive. No longer purely human, Cass questions everything she thought she knew about good and evil.
As tensions between man and machine head for a meltdown, Cass must choose a side before the conflict turns deadly…
Cyber’s Change is the first book in the heartfelt Sapiens Run cyberpunk trilogy. If you like strong female characters, dystopian futures, and exploring what it means to be human, then you’ll love Jamie Davis’s thought-provoking novel.

Oh Jamie Davis, you utterly confuse me! I do not like dystopian takes. Really! Yet somehow I adored Cyber’s Change, the first in your new Sapiens Run series. I should’ve known you’d get through my defenses – I mean, after all, I’ve loved every other book you’ve written so this should not have been a surprise. But still! I’m not supposed to enjoy dystopians. So what if it’s an utterly cool world you’ve created, with neat cyperpunk action (gotta admit I like cyberpunk) and a heck of a great lead in Cass (Ok, I admit that I love strong female characters), but still! If you can do this to me then just about everyone is gonna love this book (*Sigh*). But for the fact that I’m literally dictating this review to my husband from my hospital bed I could go on and on with praises. The book definitely deserves it. Since I can’t do that I will simply note that the book is most definitely one to read, and it is easy to highly recommend. I’m definitely looking forward to the next book in this series.
Chilling and sadly possible. As a member of the LGBTQ+ community, this story feels very familiar. Anyone who thinks that this could never happen here should listen to the people already doing these things, saying these things.
Who would have that that in the future with cyberkinetics, there would still be discrimination. This story shows a young woman starting college and how her beliefs are changed by the people surrounding her. As sad as it sounds, death is still the result of discrimination. If you fear someone or something, kill it. Well written story.
A very powerful and believable story that reflects attitudes you see around you everyday. I have always appreciated Mr Davis’s story telling but this is his most powerful book yet.
This novel is set in the near future but events could be seen as what is happening today. Prejudice and politics play major roles, just like now. There’s a lot of tech involved and I can envision seeing it on Netflix, Hulu or Amazon. The main character is engaging and I truly encourage teens and adults to give this a read.
I received this book in exchange for a honest review.
I have been avoiding YA/NA lately because I just have a hard time reading it, mostly, I think, because I have two teens at the moment who are driving me crazy. However, since I really like this author, I went ahead and read this. I am glad I did. Not only is it a very interesting read, but the book’s events are similar (parallel) to what is happening today. And, I can really see something very similar happening in the future. Cass is very realistic in her struggles to understand everything she’s led to believe might be wrong, and her girlfriend Shelby is probably more patient than I would be while Cass deals with this. The plot does take a little bit to get going, but this is only because there is quite a bit of backstory that needs established. Once the meat of the plot gets going, the reader is grabbed by the throat and never let loose. I didn’t like the ending but not because of bad writing or anything, but because I wanted to yell at the characters! LOL! I am now very anxious to see what is going to happen next and how they will fix what is going on. I highly recommend this book and was provided a copy which I voluntarily reviewed.
I have read this author before and enjoyed the series: Extreme Medical Services (7 Book Series).
This book on the other hand though good enough I will not be continuing the series, just not my cup of tea.
I enjoyed the story, the characters were fun and it was easy to read. What I didn’t like is another author who sells you 2/3rds or a book and charges the same price as a whole book. This was a trilogy and it should have been 2 books instead. I prefer a whole story in a book rather than a cliff hanger ending. Which makes you have to buy the next book to see what happens. I would have bought the next book anyway. I doubt I’ll read anything else by this author because I don’t like feeling cheated monetarily. If he had faith in his books, he’d stay away from gimmicks and just write great stories and have faith that they are good enough to get me to buy more of his work. Because I DID like the story.
Interesting sci-fi take on lgbt
