Glitch (Glitch) Book 1
by Heather Anasatsiu
From Goodreads:
In the Community, there is no more pain or war. Implanted computer chips have wiped humanity clean of destructive emotions, and thoughts are replaced by a feed from the Link network.
When Zoe starts to malfunction (or “glitch”), she suddenly begins having her own thoughts, feelings, and identity. Any anomalies must be immediately reported and repaired, but Zoe has a secret so dark it will mean certain deactivation if she is caught: her glitches have given her uncontrollable telekinetic powers.
As Zoe struggles to control her abilities and stay hidden, she meets other glitchers including Max, who can disguise his appearance, and Adrien, who has visions of the future. Both boys introduce Zoe to feelings that are entirely new. Together, this growing band of glitchers must find a way to free themselves from the controlling hands of the Community before they’re caught and deactivated, or worse.
In this action-packed debut, Glitch begins an exciting new young adult trilogy.

My Review~
This YA book was fantastic. It was definitely futuristic, and really well thought out. Zoe has been glitching, so she has an internal monologue of whether or not to turn herself in. The community where she was born and raised, has made her believe that anyone who is glitching is dangerous to the rest of the community, so as she is ready to turn herself in, she meet Adrien. i don't want to ruin anything, so just have to say that the twists in this book are fantastic, I was thinking that I knew where it was going, then all of a sudden another twist. I do have to say that at times I was annoyed...don't get me wrong I really like the book so go read it! But it is hard to sympathize with feelings when of course I understand them and the character doesn't. The character isn't supposed to because on the v-chip that forces them to not have feelings. The author did a wonderfully fantastic job of writing this. I was impressed, and will read the next book(Override Feb. 2013) in the series when it comes out!
Override (Glitch) Book 2
Feb. 19, 2013
From Goodreads:
Zoe is free. She has escaped the enslavement of the Community, disconnected from the hardware that had controlled her every thought and emotion, and evaded capture by the Chancellor intent on killing her. She is finally free, but she is far from safe.
Zoe and Adrien hide themselves from detection at the Foundation, an academy that trains teen glitchers to fight in the Resistance movement. Together, Zoe and her new team of superhuman fighters must risk their lives to rescue other glitchers and humans from the Chancellor's control. Challenges abound at every turn, and Adrien, who has become silent, distant, and tormented by his visions of the future, only adds to the growing certainty of defeat. But worst of all, as Zoe's team fights against impossible odds, distrust and betrayal leads to the terrible discovery that their greatest threat could already be lurking behind the safe walls of the Foundation.
