Purchase options and add-ons
Chiara was born a mistake. An Anomaly. In her struggle to belong in Unity's genetically engineered social system, Chiara finds herself in the crosshairs of Auto, the ever-watching AI.
When her parents and grandfather are killed in a series of mysterious accidents, the teen is plagued by disturbing fragments of memory that suggest the deaths were no accident. Only Kaynine, her loyal robot dog, knows for sure what happened, and Chiara must find its corrupted memory files. She is desperate for the truth even if the cost is abandoning Silas, her long-time friend and unsanctioned crush.
She is on the verge of losing it all: honors-class ranking, best friend, and her dream of becoming an inventor.
The virtual realm and reality collide as Chiara's coding skills enable her to search for answers in the Forbidden Library. And when her journey takes her past Unity's city limits and face-to-face with other social outcasts, Chiara realizes that one girl with a book just might be dangerous enough to crash the entire system of lies.
Fans of dystopian science fiction will love the novel's deadly plot twists as it explores the darker nature of chasing perfection.

- Reviewed in the United States on November 14, 2023This book is dark, hopeful, sad, exciting, scary and most importantly unpredictable! I really loved it. You can read this, walk away and not care about Chiara..... however, if you do that you have no heart. It is a really good book that takes you to so many different adventures. There are things in the book that I wish I could do today and there are things that make me second guess my technology usage. My book club loved it and loved that the author was so easy to talk to and open-minded with our thoughts and comments. #must-read
Thank you Riley!!
- Reviewed in the United States on July 9, 2023Loved everything about this book! "Disconnected" brings all the best elements of dystopian YA Sci Fi into a fantastic and exciting story. Strong protagonist, evil technology-based villain, outcasts on the outskirts of society who aren't what most think they are. The action is riveting, the characters well developed and relatable, the plot and pacing fast.
And... there's a lovable robot dog.
Highly recommend for teen readers through middle age and beyond! If you love stories like Ready Player One, Divergent, The Hunger Games, etc., this book definitely deserves a place on the bookshelf right next to them. Hope to see this story on the big screen one day.
This 40-something reader couldn't put this book down. :)
- Reviewed in the United States on May 14, 20231984 meets Ready Player One in a game to win control. This well-written fast-paced novel sucked me in to the dystopian world and had me on edge as the mystery unfolded. Chaira is a strong female protagonist who earns her place and shows her mettle. Her smarts, courage, and tenacity are inspiring. This was a creative story and fun to read. I finished in only a couple days…had to know what would happen next!

- Reviewed in the United States on May 21, 2023Cross has created a unique, technology based world that brings forth an exciting sci-fi adventure. This timely story asks the question, what if AI controlled our everyday lives? Our unlikely hero, a teenage anomaly, navigates Cross’s world packed with intelligent tech, AI robots, mysterious orders, and curious characters.
I really enjoyed this book! I read it in two days. I would recommend it to teens and adults alike who enjoy science fiction, technology, and call to adventure stories! I’m looking forward to seeing what comes from Riley Cross next.

4.0 out of 5 stars It's a book worth reading.
I give this book a solid 4.5 Stars!!
This is very well written YA tale with a gripping plot for anyone who enjoys sci-fi, cyberpunk, a hint of romance (lightly-handled), and empowering heroines who face their fears to overcome adversity and do what's right.
The ominous and overreaching AI authority in this tale gave me some Matrix vibes, while the tiered society and presence of the streamless brought the Divergent series to my mind, which was a fun dynamic.
The characters felt real and though I didn't immediately connect with the protagonist, Chiara, within a couple of chapters I was fully invested. It's well worth the read.
