I don’t know much about the book, a friend told me about it a couple months ago. But what I remember is that people had chips in their brains and this one character has certain abilities. There’s some sort of war? And it’s digital. He’s captured and hooked up to machines and forced to ‘help’ and he does this for years, essentially being sustained by machines. This happens over a series.
My friend read it around three years ago I’d say, so it would likely be in the range of young adult or slightly lower.
