MINERS (Amazon $5)
In the blossoming dystopia of Alamo City, genetic modification is banned. Enterprising biohackers are beginning to sneak valuable data the old-fashioned way—on any vintage memory cards and drives they can get their hands on. It’s in these piles of electronic junk that Kaylee, an academic deserter, and Jorge, a self-described alien, find clues for how to engineer immortality. All they need to do is successfully biohack a killer parasite and also catch a human to test it on.
