BZRK

Product Information

Every human aged 15 and older suddenly vanishes, the remaining children have to rebuild society and work out what's happened to the adults, and there's also the issue of their developing superpowers. Plot: Everything about BZRK blew me away starting with the completely original plot. A group of unlikely heroes save the world from destruction. Overdone? Not even close. Twins Charles and Benjamin are joined at the hip (literally) and embarrassed by their deformity, they decide to make the world a better place – where people would not have to feel pain or sorrow because their emotions would be controlled for them. They have a benign goal in mind (or do they?) but a different organization, the BZRK, believes that they are going about it wrong.

Nothing is as it seems in Michael Grant’s creepy-fantastic ‘BZRK’ – that’s true from the story, right down to my original pre-read misconceptions (of which, I shame-facedly admit, I had many). To begin with, the book is pronounced ‘Berserk’ (not BZ-RK as I first called it), and while the cover is rather dark and masculine, hinting at the sinister within, I actually came away from ‘BZRK’ thinking it was one of those rare YA books that will appeal equally to both female and male readers. But what really impressed me about Michael Grant’s first book in a new series is how downright clever it is. It’s something of an espionage/action-thriller/pre-Dystopian gem with teen heroes, set on an epic world-stage and will also appeal to adult readers. But I’m getting ahead of myself – let me delve into the meat of this story, if you will. Pomocí naší a zvířecí DNA byli vytvořeni bioti. Zmenšenina… čeho vlastně? Biot by se dal přirovnat k malé bleše, kterou nespatříme ani pomocí mikroskopu. Jedná se o opravdu malé stroje, které ovládají lidé. Ovládají je stejně, jako my ovládáme sebe: myšlenkami. Ze začátku se zdál tento plán jako skvělá myšlenka, jenže vše se zvrhlo v něco ještě horšího. Byli totiž vytvořeni nanoboti. Bioti proti nanobotům. Společnost, která chce svět zachránit proti společnosti, která chce vytvořit utopii, kde budou lidé pouhé loutky. Dobří proti zlým. Vítejte ve válce dvacátého prvního století. In conclusion, I cannot wait another torturous year before BZRK 2 comes out. Eh, excuse me Mr. Grant. When you have the basic manuscript for BZRK 2 ready, give me a call. This wiki is about the book BZRK by Michael Grant. With this wiki you will access to loads of info on the book. This was a seriously creepy book, but in the best possible way. Certainly not for the squeamish, though. It has its share of blood and gore, as his books are wont to do, but the majority of the creep factor comes from how much exacting detail is put into the descriptions of human bodies on the microscopic level.Character motivation/development: We're told that the entire reason Sadie and Noah (or shall I say Plath and Keats? So clever, Mr. Grant!) go on this entire journey is because: 1.) Sadie's family is killed by the bad guys (speaking of which, we never find out why, specially since the baddies needed her father so much for something...?) 2.) Noah because his brother is driven mad when his biot is killed.

In the other corner, you have a group of kids in their teens and twenties running genetically-linked biots. They are similar to nanobots but when they die, they drag their "owners" into insanity. These people make up BZRK and Lear is the mysterious force that runs the whole thing. But don't let the title of this book fool you. They can well be the bad guys in this story.Grant has invented a world where two factions are battling for the future of civilisation as we know it. They’re battling not with conventional weapons but with nano technology. One side controls biots while the other side uses nanobots – designed to be implanted into people’s heads, allowing someone else to control their thoughts, actions and feelings, without them even knowing it. This is a scary idea as it seems impossible at the moment but plausible in the future. There are some explicit descriptions of them entering people’s eyes and brain which definitely had me wincing more than once.

The other nanotech is more biological. Biots, is a nano-sized avatar linked directly to people's mind and can be controlled in a risk that if biot died, the owner will went insane. Our resistance group, Bzrk, were using biots to fight against the Armstrong Twin. This bring us to raging nanotech battle edging between death and madness.This novel proposes a lot of big questions; is it right to make humans perfect? Do the ends justify the means? How much is freedom truly worth? And while these may seem very much dependent on a sci-fi concept, they raise a lot of questions about our world today in my opinion. The Armstrong Twins seem to have a benevolent purpose but are also the villains and evil. Thought to have similar mechanisms to ephedrine, Higemanine has seen its use as a fat burner, though this research is quite limited.

Enter the world of Michael Grant's BZRK. This is a book that you simply have to read to really get a sense of how exciting, how speculative, and how haunting Grant's vision really is here.

Most Well Known

BZRK je zvláštní knihou. Neobvyklou, zajímavou, zmatenou a nabízející toho hodně do budoucna. S Michaelem Grantem nemám žádné zkušenosti, ale co jsem tak v okolí postřehla, je to dobrý autor. A opravdu tomu tak je, protože jak by špatný autor mohl sestavit knihu jako je tato? While driving down to Washington Nijinsky saw on his phone that people were raiding the New York safe house and he took it into his own hands by blowing up the safe house. When they, the New York cell, met up again they made a new safe house out of a church and had Anya start researching the biot 4.0. Plath was the first one to receive the 4.0 because Nijinsky wanted to see what would happen if someone eliminated the memory of Vincent losing a biot. When Plath started pouring acid on the memory she spilled some onto her own biot which in return hurt her, but Nijinsky yelled at her to keep going.
