The Chip: A World Divided - Paperback

by Aj Parker (Author)

When a young couple ignores ancient rivalries and fall in love, they spark a war between the two societies they inhabit. In the year 2075, health care scientists invented a Chip, which when inserted into the brain stops the aging process. Fifty years later, societies naturally divided themselves into two camps: the Hybrids - those with the Chip; and the Naturalists - those without it. Seventy-five years later the Great War began and the two sides sought to destroy one another. After ten years, the fighting ended in a stalemate, a fragile treaty was signed, weapons were outlawed, and strict laws for the use of the Chip were created. But now, an outside force with immeasurable power threatens both sides. Can they overcome their differences in order to preserve life as they know it?
