Age Of Eli: The Future Of Human

This novel chronicles part I in a science-fictional series spanning the half-century following the year 2001. The main character, Eli Novak, and antagonist Warren Novatec, grow up as childhood classmates and intellectual prodigies. They attend the same schools in a continued friendship and mutual interests in each other's work. Eli invents an AI nanorobotics device called the Quantum Entanglement Processing Unit (QEPU), which attaches to the brain's neurons in the Cerebral Cortex. This device promises to enhance latent ultra-human abilities, including self-healing, ingenuity, physical strength, mind-reading, and to extend life beyond 150 years of age. Warren, in his jealousy, steals this invention and alters it to use to his advantage.
In reward for his serum, Warren inherits boundless influence, and is deemed the savior of humankind. However, time reveals a toxic element in the miracle technology. Eli and his visionary girlfriend, Ambrosine, organize a secret revolution to return power to the individual person, in the face of the rising, oppressive state. But are they already too late? If so, our species will never regain its freedom. . .
