Amped is a science fiction novel by American author Daniel H. Wilson published in June 2012.

In a near-future where the Neural-Autofocus and other neural implants made formerly mentally challenged individuals into equals or superiors to those with normal brain functionality, Owen is a high school teacher whose surgeon father helped develop the implants to control his epilepsy.

Kirkus Reviews stated this about the novel, "Wilson delivers a thoughtful, well-written novel, which, like his previous novel Robopocalypse (2011), deals with the often tense interplay between machines and humans.

Wilson, whose prose is always a step above the norm, is at his strongest creating amp-augmented action sequences and in conjuring situations which explore the boundaries between humankind and its technological creations."

"[1] The Boise Weekly states, "On the whole...Amped is a compelling and brisk read with a lot more to offer than the average thriller.
