BZRK

BZRK by Michael Grant
The Armstrong brothers, Charles and Ben, are twins but they are no ordinary twins, they are conjoined. They own the Armstrong Fancy Gift Corporation (AFGC). Charles and Ben had such a horrible life they  wanted to spare the rest of the world the pain, so they invented nanobots that control human emotion. Their intention were good, no emotions no pain, but sometimes the worst experiences come from the best intentions. Enter Sadie Mclure, her father and brother also work for AFGC and are killed in a horrible accident. As the details of the accident unravel so does the secret they were keeping and Sadie is pulled into a war to save free will.

This is definitely science fiction and not for the squeamish. Grant goes into great detail about the way the nanobots enter the brain and control their host. I am not a big sci-fi fan but I really enjoyed this book. This is the first book in a series.
