"Roo'd is geek-addled cyberpunk fiction at its finest, about a teenage boy with two prosthetic legs and a band of misfit body-modders, shamanistic computer hackers, and pharmaceutically psychotic bioscientists. But it's also an exploration of someone coming to grips with what they truly love to do - and what it means to do it in a confusing world of shades of gray."

Apocalyptic stories tend to be one of my favorites, but the punk genres (steam-punk, cyberpunk) run a close second. Roo'd is a fun story with an interesting take on what will be done with tech in the near future. I was reminded of the the interesting future in 'Sisters of Glass' by D. W. St. John.
Our protagonist makes due with bilateral leg prosthesis in an age that sees body mods as common place. It has body modification, heists, hacking, chase scenes, treachery, over the top collateral damage and a most amazing antagonist. You'll never look at 'The Mouse' the same way again!
A fast read, that I kept wanting to come back to, to see what would happen next.
