History Literature / TheAdorationOfJennaFox

* TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture: No explicit year or date is given, but events like the election of the second female US president, the near-uselessness of vaccines thanks to bacterial infections becoming super-resistant and lethal to them, and natural disasters that sunk part of California are mentioned.

* CloningBlues: [[spoiler:Jenna is almost entirely constructed of a substance called [=BioGel=]. Her exterior parts—like skin and hair—have been cloned from the original girl's cells. Even her brain is 90% artificial; it contains 10% of the brain of the original Jenna - the only portion of the original that could be saved.]]

The book was followed by two sequels, ''The Fox Ingeritance'' and ''Fox Forever'', which shifted the genre from introspective sci-fi to a dystopian rebellion.

'''WARNING:''' The trope list below contains MAJOR spoilers. Even ''reading'' the name of certain tropes is highly spoilerrific. If at all possible, read the book at least halfway through before proceeding. (It's worth it, trust me.)

* [[spoiler:CyberneticsEatYourSoul: Jenna wonders if this is true. It's implied that it's not, especially with Dane who is 100% human but is repeatedly stated to be "empty" or "missing something" inside.]]

* LaserGuidedAmnesia

* [[spoiler:TomatoInTheMirror: Jenna even says "I'm not a tomato."]]

%%* [[spoiler:WhatHaveIBecome]]

''There is something curious about where we live. Something curious about Lily. Something curious about Father and his nightly phone calls with Mother. And certainly something curious about me. Why can I remember the details of the French Revolution but I can't remember if I ever had a best friend?''

* [[spoiler:ArtificialHuman: Jenna. Most of her, at least. Allys is shown as having become one too by the epilogue, and it's stated that there are also many more like them after they campaigned for awareness of beings like them.]]

Jenna Fox has just woken up from a coma, and she doesn't feel quite right. Her parents tell her that she's been in a coma for a year and give her recordings of her sixteen years of life before the "accident" to watch. They tell her that she will remember as time passes, but Jenna keeps on noticing things. Like how her grandmother won't look at her anymore and how her fingers don't interlace quite right...

Jenna Fox has just woken up from a coma, and she doesn't feel quite right.

The Adoration of Jenna Fox takes place several years after the apocalypse, and follows the awakening of Jenna. She is compelled to do whatever her mother asks of her, and her grandmother won't look at her anymore. She feels clunkier when she walks, her hands don't inter-lace quite right.
