Sweet Harmony

Beschreibung

From the award-winning, bestselling Claire North comes a brand new stand-alone novella - a clever and unnervingly plausible dystopian tale set in the near future. Harmony is tired. Tired of working so hard, tired of the way she looks, tired of being average. But all that changes when she decides to splash out and upgrade her nanos. And why not? Everyone's doing it now. With a simple in-app purchase, you can update the tech in your bloodstream to transform yourself - get enhanced brain power, the perfect body or a dazzling smile. Suddenly, everything starts going right for Harmony. She's finally becoming the person she always wanted to be. But when she ends up running too many upgrades on her body all at once, the effects will be more catastrophic than she could have imagined. Praise for Claire North: 'An original and even dazzling writer' Kirkus 'North goes from strength to strength' Guardian 'A master of ingenious plotting and feats of imagination' Alex Marwood 'North's writing is terrific, smart and entertaining' Patrick Ness (Quelle: Google Books API)
