Fifteen-year-old Obie would like to officially cancel the word artificial**.**
In the year 2100, people slap it onto everything—homes, cops, even hearts like hers. Sure, Obie's vital organ was 3D-printed, but that doesn't make her fake. It just makes her a target.
Humanists—the anti-augmentation extremists—believe kids like Obie are walking mistakes. So Obie keeps her heart a secret. She stays quiet. Invisible. Safe.
Until the night Humanists attack her best friend, Mateo.
Now Obie is done hiding. To save him, she dives into the black-market underworld of illegal bioprinting, determined to get Mateo a replacement spleen before it's too late. Suddenly she's juggling rogue tech, dangerous deals, and Jonas—a blue-eyed prodigy with enough brilliance (and baggage) to blow up her whole mission.
Call Me Obie is a fast-paced story about prejudice, identity, and the messy courage it takes to define yourself when the world insists on telling you what you are. In a future where bodies can be rebuilt, Obie must decide who she wants to become—and what she's willing to risk for the people she loves.
