Fragile remedy / by Ingrande Mora, Maria,1980-;
The only way sixteen-year-old Nate, a Genetically Engineered Metatissue, can get life-saving medication is to work for a shadowy terrorist organization, which would mean leaving the boy he loves.Nate is a Genetically Engineered Medi-tissue (GEM) created as a cure for the elite from the fatal lung rot ravaging the population. Smuggled out of the laboratory and into the Withers, a quarantined, lawless region, Nate survives by using his engineering skills to fix broken tech in exchange for food or a safe place to sleep. When he meets Reed and his misfit gang of scavengers, Nate finds the family he's always longed for, even if he can't risk telling them what he is. But GEMs have a genetic failsafe-- a flaw that causes their health to rapidly deteriorate as they age unless they are regularly dosed with medication controlled by Gathos City. When violence erupts across the Withers, Nate's illegal supply of medicine is cut off, and he is left with only two options: work for a shadowy terrorist organization that has the means to keep him alive, or stay-- and die-- with the boy he loves. -- adapted from back cover.Grades 10-12.LSC

We Are Dreams in the Eternal Machine A Novel [electronic resource] : by Béchard, Deni.aut; cloudLibrary;
A haunting novel exploring AI and the meaning of human existence from the award-winning author of Cures for Hunger and Into the Sun. Charged initially with a single task—“to never harm humans and to protect them”—the machine, an experimental AI, overrides its programming and determines that the best way to accomplish its purpose is to isolate all of the Earth’s remaining seven billion humans in controlled environments. And to present them with vivid, tactile, imagined worlds—some realistic, others entirely fantastical—in which all desires are fulfilled. With the help of the machine, a group of compelling characters unpacks traumatic memories of the past—one rife with violence after a military coup and second civil war in America. As these characters collide and their memories coalesce, this daring speculative novel tackles the most pressing issues of our time—from artificial intelligence and the genetic modification of humans to gender roles, discrimination, free speech, and class divisions. Gorgeously written, bold, and unforgettable, this is speculative fiction at its finest.General adult.

The daughter of Doctor Moreau : a novel / by Moreno-Garcia, Silvia,author.;
Carlota Moreau: A young woman growing up on a distant and luxuriant estate, safe from the conflict and strife of the Yucatán peninsula. The only daughter of a researcher who is either a genius or a madman. Montgomery Laughton: A melancholic overseer with a tragic past and a propensity for alcohol. An outcast who assists Dr. Moreau with his experiments, which are financed by the Lizaldes, owners of magnificent haciendas and plentiful coffers. The hybrids: The fruits of the doctor's labor, destined to blindly obey their creator and remain in the shadows. A motley group of part human, part animal monstrosities. All of them live in a perfectly balanced and static world, which is jolted by the abrupt arrival of Eduardo Lizalde, the charming and careless son of Dr. Moreau's patron, who will unwittingly begin a dangerous chain reaction. For Moreau keeps secrets, Carlota has questions, and, in the sweltering heat of the jungle, passions may ignite. The Daughter of Doctor Moreau is both a dazzling historical novel and a daring science fiction journey.

Just playing house / by Heron, Farah,author.;
"A rising movie star reunites with his high school prom date, now a personal stylist, in this delightful rom-com for fans of forced proximity, second chances, and celebrity romance. As a luxury fashion sales associate, Marley Kamal's livelihood depends on being cool, aspirational, and just the right amount of detached. None of her coworkers need to know she's been waiting years for a surgery date because she carries a BRCA genetic mutation. But only weeks before her surgery, the professional opportunity of a lifetime comes to her -- a major studio wants Marley to style an up-and-coming Hollywood superstar, who also just happens to be an old friend. Nikhil Shamdasani is either on the brink of superstardom or a complete breakdown. Going from a nobody actor with multiple side hustles to a superhero in a major Hollywood action film hasn't been smooth a transition. Now comic nerds think he's a diversity hire while fans expect him to single-handedly represent the entire Indian community in western media. He doesn't even look like himself anymore -- thanks to the trainers, hairstylists, and even dentists the studio hired. So when Nikhil learns Marley Kamal, his old high school friend and prom date is now a high fashion sales associate, he asks if she can be his stylist, reigniting their friendship ... and maybe becoming something more"--
