About this listen
What would you give to live forever?
Seventeen-year-old 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 Susan Kaye Quinn's new young adult science fiction series that explores the intersection of mind, body, and soul in a post-Singularity world... and how technology will challenge us to remember what it means to be human.

An awesome surprise
I knew I would enjoy this book. I didn’t realise I’d LOVE it!
Susan has made a remarkably detailed and believable future for humanity and mankind, and Nick has breathed life into her creation with and excellent performance, not just reading the manuscript but also giving each character their own personality and emotions.
Would highly recommend this book to any sci-fi lover, and can’t wait to listen to the rest of the series!

Slow start but good finish.
Started slow and took a while to get going and get into it. After this it got better and the story took right off and was very engrossing. Will be continuing with this series.
