Aine Nishimura's earliest memories start with a personal tragedy that alters the course of her life. The physical consequences of the trauma give her enhanced abilities, which help her in adulthood as a mercilessly effective Interpol agent, until the sudden, shocking murder of her father motivates her to resign. She needs answers, and she believes working outside the law will improve her odds of finding them before humanity implodes. With action occurring from the mid to late 21st century, i-Symbiote uses the science and technology of skycars, coding, algorithms, and digital addiction as a context for examining universal themes of free will, human connection, and how and by whom the greater good of society is defined and calculated.

During this turbulent time of a global health crisis and economic uncertainty in real life, Aine's story resonates as an action-packed philosophical thriller featuring powerful shadow groups on all sides of the law. It’s challenging to distinguish friends from foes. Ethical shadiness creates a compelling amalgamation of Matrix meets The Fugitive and Frankenstein as humans strive to build a Utopia. This first installment of the Erudite Saga sets high expectations for the next story.

i really enjoyed reading this book, it had a unique scifi elements and I really liked how different it was. I hope there is more in this series.
