The Duality Bridge by Susan Kaye Quinn

The Duality Bridge (Singularity, #2)

by Susan Kaye Quinn

What does it mean to be human?

Elijah Brighton is the face of the Human Resistance Movement. He’s the Olympic-level painter who refused an offer of immortality from the ascenders—the human/machine hybrids who run the world—in solidarity with the legacy humans who will never get a chance to live forever.

Too bad it’s all a complicated web of lies.

Worse, Eli’s not even entirely human. Few know about the ascenders’ genetic experiments that left him… different. Fewer know about the unearthly fugue state that creates his transcendent art—as well as a bridge that lets him speak to the dead. But the Resistance is the one place he can hide from the ascender who knows everything the fugue can do. Because if Marcus finds him, he’ll either use Eli for his own nefarious purposes… or destroy him once and for all.

The Duality Bridge is the second novel in a philosophical HopePunk sci-fi series that explores the intersection of mind, body, and soul in a post-Singularity world.

This book did its job to advance the story and provide all those details we needed regarding the singularity, Eli's father, and all the different religious beliefs that survived the singularity. As always, Quinn does a beautiful job of bringing us right into the action. There were actually moments where I was biting my nails, I swear! This series is a really interesting study of being human, technology, theology and how it all fits together. It got real emotional for me several times. I even cried real tears at one point, and I have to say, SKQ gave me a special gift at the end, even if this is just the quiet before the storm.
