Yea it certainly seems like it so far, I also picked up AI to Zombies. Any recommendations?

There is nothing better than Worm. But it's almost two million words, nearly every one of them heartbreaking.

From the comments: "Awesome story. It reminded me quite a bit of Worm."

I have an irrational reluctance to start Worm. I am afraid I'll enjoy it.

Everyone's favorite anarchist pops up as well.

I read a couple chapters of Worm. Does the plot stop sounding like your average "teenager finds out they're special, meets up with other cool special teenagers, epic fighting plus love story ensues" story?

Yes.

EDIT: no one in Worm is special.

Hubski doesn't mind bringing threads back from the dead, this one just struck me as funny.
