My name is Brianna Harmond. I’m a straight C student who’s kind of good with tech. When I got involved in a fight I shouldn’t have, the teacher forced me to work with a band of misfits. David’s a geek who asked me out once. Brad is a cocky asshole who takes nothing seriously. Greg is my secret crush and the school’s basketball star. And then there’s Amy, the artist—my best friend.
When the government announced a revolutionary new wellness technology, I was furious that they were too late to save my mother. Then my little sister was diagnosed with cancer, and I refused to lose her too. So we hacked the government bots and changed the code to edit DNA. Then we built an app and made millions overnight. I thought I was just helping my sister. I didn’t realize we might accidentally destroy the human race.
Now, someone else is using our device to kill people, and the FBI is blaming us. And we’ve started changing, in unexpected ways. The government is afraid of us, of what we can do, of what we’re becoming. So they’ve started taking us out. Thousands at a time. City by city. Soon we’ll be the last ones left.
Selfie is a near-future, apocalyptic young adult technothriller that deals with themes of bullying, body modification and advances in the health care industry that challenges what it means to be human.
