About this audiobook
What would you give to live forever? Elijah Brighton wants to become an ascender—a post-Singularity human/machine hybrid—after all, they’re smarter, more enlightened, more compassionate, and above all, achingly beautiful. But Eli is a legacy human, preserved and cherished for his unaltered genetic code, just like the rainforest he paints. When a fugue state possesses him and creates great art, Eli miraculously lands a sponsor for the creative Olympics. If he could just master the fugue, he could take the gold and win the right to ascend, bringing everything he’s yearned for within reach... including his beautiful ascender patron. But once Eli arrives at the Games, he finds the ascenders are playing games of their own. Everything he knows about the ascenders and the legacies they keep starts to unravel... until he’s running for his life and wondering who he truly is.
The Legacy Human is the first in a philosophical hopepunk sci-fi series that explores the intersection of mind, body, and soul in a post-Singularity world.

interesting, emotional rollercoaster about ascendancy towards a robotic utopia that cannot recreate artists... More of a question book regarding human connection rather than scientific observation debate. Slightly negative because of the main character's futility towards his mother's suffering and reliance on outward forces that contain the only sane explanation of clarity. Strangely, the main character needed only to be told he was special all along to accomplish the extraordinary.

This was not what I expected. I gave it a chance because the plot seemed interesting but it is not and the voice is really annoying.. I would not buy this again and am very much interested in getting a refund!
