Is she doing God's work, or something far more sinister?

Safely hidden behind a high fence that shields it from the rest of the world, Kinship Care provides a safe haven for children from City of England. Kinship Care is supported by the Happiness-Program... but there's a catch. To keep the food shipments coming, program director Enyd must provide fraudulent "proof" of the plague ravaging the city--photos of children suffering--to deter those tempted to leave the program.

It's been easy enough with a sinner like Ava, the only Unchipped child at Kinship Care, who keeps violating the rules by trying to contact her mother. Surely God would approve of the relatively mild punishments Ava has brought upon herself.

But now they want more. More shocking material. More pain. More punishment. More proof to show the good people in the city what it's like for those who defy the program. How far will Enyd go before she says enough?

Unchipped

Unchipped: Enyd

They want her talent. She wants her life.

Luna lives in a run-down old farmhouse outside City of Serbia, her only companions the alcoholic Reverend Marić and a constantly growing pack of half-feral dogs. As one of the last Unchipped still alive in the area, she lives by her wits as a hacker and thief.

When a spy from the City exposes her presence there, Luna is offered a choice: see her life destroyed or find the rebels who have been giving the Chipped so much trouble.

It isn't a question of whether she can do it - Luna is the best, and if she starts to look for them then the rebels are doomed. But all she wants to do is to live a peaceful life, surrounded by her dogs and her books. Then she meets Jovan, the strangely gentle man she suspects of having betrayed her to the Chipped. Can Luna trust her new friend... or is his kindness a trap?

Unchipped: Luna

In a war-torn world, they've found their sanctuary... if not for those bodies in the basement.

The rebels against the Happiness-Program have finally found a place to hide, an abandoned resort in Iceland complete with a luxury hotel. Everything would be perfect here if not for their memories, haunting them each in different ways.

For Bill, it's the friend he left behind in California... not knowing whether she's alive or dead. For Luna, it's the man from City of Serbia, inviting her to give up on the rebellion and return home to him. For Ava it's the woman who used to take care of her, and who she expects to hear from any day.

For rebel leader Kaarina, it's the need for revenge... and the basement of the hotel may give her the opportunity. Because the basement contains four stasis capsules, and the unconscious bodies of four men and women... the founders of the Happiness-Program.

If they can wake up the founders, the rebels could finally be free forever. They could strike a blow against the enemy, turning the tide in the ongoing war. But waking up the all-but-dead can have unforeseen consequences...

Unchipped: The Resort

She conquered the world… but she can’t get her enemy out of her head.

As the unquestioned leader of the Happiness-Program, Laura is effectively the ruler of the entire world. The Unchipped rebels have been defeated, and all that’s left for her to do is to perfect the Chipping process so they can all be integrated into the new society. The only problem is a single hacker, but that hacker is supremely dangerous, able to access Laura’s mind at will.

As it becomes clear that she can’t keep the hacker out, Laura’s grip on power will start to unravel. And that will force her to make a choice… create the perfect world she’s always dreamed of, or save the little girl who doesn’t know she’s Laura’s daughter?

Chipped: Laura

They’re building a new world together… but she doesn’t trust him.

Jovan has been helping the Unchipped rebels, recruiting soldiers to join their cause. His girlfriend Luna is a rebel herself, but she doesn’t trust him enough to share her secrets. He’s Chipped and she isn’t, and that’s all there is to it. Now she’s taking them all into the wilderness, looking for a promised refuge in the United Inland… and possibly leaving him forever. Can he keep Luna’s love when his Chipped status stands between them?

Chipped: Jovan

For Dr. Laura Solomon, dying was nothing more than an inconvenience.

With her body gone, her mind is more powerful than ever before. She roams the computer systems of the world at will, helping the Unchipped rebels she has chosen to protect – and occasionally dealing with Luna, her demanding new assistant. The only problem is her humanity, which seems to be slipping away from her day by day. As the rebels pester her for information, Dr. Solomon finds herself distracted, drawn deeper into her abstract world…

And Nurse Saarinen’s drones are closing in.

Chipped: The Revenant

Death didn’t end anything. Not even his grief.

The Unchipped rebels don’t know much about the man they call Yeti. Not even his real name. Recently uploaded to a digital reality called the Egg, the rebels continue to brainstorm for a plan to stop the deadly Nurse Saarinen. But Kristian fails to focus on the task at hand. He struggles with his regret for everything he’s lost… and his love for Kaarina, the woman who died with him when they were uploaded to the Egg.

The woman who now wants nothing to do with him.

He was the most skillful manipulator she ever met. Now she just needs to remember how he did it.

Long ago, before the war that took her life, Maria served as the driver and bodyguard for a man named Sebastian King.

She didn’t understand what he was doing at the time, but she needs to remember it now…

If she wants to convince the brilliant and deadly Owena to help the Unchipped rebels.

Dechipped: Maria

She’s the smartest little girl in the world… and the most dangerous too.

Owena is a genius – as well as a killer – but she’s still only six years old. After escaping the underground bunker where she lived with Nurse Saarinen, her main goal has been to find more candy. Now the Unchipped rebels have a mission for her, and if she agrees to perform it, they’ll let her visit the Egg, where you can eat all the candy you want without ever getting a stomachache. Owena’s definitely interested, but she’s also distracted.

What she really wants to do is to get to know Pickle, the con artist with so many interesting scams to teach her…

Dechipped: Owena

Brilliant, ruthless, and totally lost. To find a future, she must face her past.

Iris has spent her whole life trying to please someone more powerful than her: first her mother, then her riding instructor Timothy Walker, then the great scientist Laura Solomon, head of the Happiness-Program and would-be savior of the world. But now Laura is dead, her consciousness uploaded into the cyberspace Egg… and she doesn’t need Iris anymore.

To find a way forward, Iris will have to look back, remembering the things Tim Walker did to her – and what she did to him.
