Brace yourselves. Are you ready for an amazing novel full of dystopian sci fi with a flare of steampunk? I have the book for you! Artificial Generation is a book by A. Haga, and it’s a fun read with plenty of action and fun for all.
Artificial Generation has a unique storyline that will keep you engaged. Elena, our main character, has been created specifically to have children with the same amazing genetics. These breeders are mankind seemingly last hope after a virus decimates the population. When trouble begins in the Domes (the space where the last humans are kept away from the virus), Elena’s world is turned upside down.
I loved the story as it kept me interested. It was certainly a quick read for me. Plot pacing was just right, enough to keep you wanting more. My only thing was that I kind of wanted the story to go via the Fallout 3 main plot with Vault 101, but that’s just me and my crazy-self wanting everything to be Fallout-esque. Trust me, you’ll like this one.
Elena is a strong female character, one who is relatable and likable. The support characters add to her development as a character as well as the suspense of the book. Plus, I enjoyed the love interest (sorry, romance author here).
I found that the setting was really the star of the show. The idea of the Domes, which sheltered everyone from the outside world, was really cool. I also loved how there was this very sterile sci fi part of the society, and then there was this whole steampunk subculture sitting alongside it—very unique indeed!
If you haven’t had a chance to grab this one and are looking for a cool mash-up of genres, Artificial Generation is for you. There’s a little bit of everything: genetically modified humans, sci fi domes, steampunk, run and gun action, and a love story. Talk about a win-win, right?
