Augland

2023
"Augland 54 is the Pacific Northwest's most extravagant theme park. Those with Suits choose the body they want and live the life of their dreams; and those without Suits work for the Artificial Existence Center, or AEC. As long as the workers keep their heads down, Augland provides food and shelter from the post-war world outside its domed walls. When Ashton is sent to the new Land of Legends park, she discovers that Augland is keeping secrets--inside and outside of its walls --and they're more violent than she ever expected. So, she decides to fight back. . . . In a corporation-ruled world inhabited by the augmented bodies of the wealthy, securely cut off from the rest in life-extending pods, Ashton exposes the sham of corporate success and refuses to remain a cog in the machine. The only thing that matters now is freedom"--OCLC.
