All around us, there's a hidden war being fought. One side wants to control our minds to create utopia, and the other is fighting for us to be miserable if we chose. It's being fought with state-of-the-art technology in the nano, in us. Our bodies. Our brains. And if any of them lose, it could mean madness for them.BZRK, written by Michael Grant is a (ostensibly) Young Adult series about a group of freedom fighters fighting against the Armstrong Twins in a micro-war to save human free will. Teenagers Noah and Sadie are recruited after both are dragged into the war after family tragedies and they find themselves in a high-tech conspiracy where there's even doubt on whether or not the good guys are all that good.BZRK Reloaded is the second novel in the trilogy released Fall 2013, which deals with the devastating aftermath of the first novel. The third and final novel, BZRK Apocalypse, was released in 2014.The series is also notable for expanding the world of the novel with extensive transmedia projects. The ARG, Nexus Humanus is here, with the official website being here. | |

Madness Mantra | |
| BZRK / int_141a6acb | comment |
Madness Mantra: Noah's brother Alex in the first chapter. He is handcuffed to keep from moving, and repeats "nano nano nano" over and over ... until he gets to "berserk berserk berserk". It's chilling to the reader and only gets worse when the reader realizes that if any of the twitchers' biots die, this is what they become. | |

Heterosexual Life-Partners: Possibly Vincent and Nijinsky. Especially when they're arguing about whether to send Keats and Plath in on a direct attack on the Twins. Vincent addresses Nijinsky by the name Shane, which some might move up to Ho Yay. YMMV though. | |

Nom de Guerre: Everyone on the biot side has one, named after famous figures who descended into madness or were mad to begin with; Plath, Keats, Nijinsky, Vincent, Wilkes, Ophelia, Renfield, Caligula, and Lear. We do, however, know most of the twitchers' real names during their point of views (with the exception of Ophelia, Caligula, Lear, and other minor characters such as Dr. Pound). Bug Man's real name is given as well, and the reader learns of Alex Cotton's real name before his identity as Kerouac is revealed. | |

Bittersweet Ending: Both the Armstrong Twins and Lear are stopped, but it comes at a terrible price. The only surviving BZRK members are Plath (scarred by losing Keats), Wilkes and Vincent and the Bug Man survives as well and all are shaken to the core of the war and having to drop a nuclear bomb on New York City. Despite the suffering, the world shows signs of moving on and Wilkes and Bug Man actually hook up and live Babies Ever After. | |

Body Horror: Lots of gruesome descriptions, and also the Armstrong twins are described as grotesque and they share one eyeball. The general body horror is noted by Sadie, who is greatly disturbed by what Noah might have seen in her body while looking through the eyes of his biots. Ophelia gets both feet blown off in an explosion at the end of the novel. | |

Black-and-Grey Morality: The Armstrong Gift Corporation is pretty evil, but BZRK (the good guys) pretty much do anything in order to defeat them. Then later the trope is subverted when the leader of BZKR Lear turns out to be an Ax-Crazy narcissist who is as corrupt and insane as the Armstrong Twins. | |

Meaningful Name: The whole point of their ''noms de guerre'. Lystra Reid (aka Lear) initials of her full name spell out to Lear, her full name is Lystra Ellen Alice Reid). Also Lystra is also a biblical name meaning "that dissolves or disperses." And it's close in spelling to "Listeria" which are very dangerous bacteria. | |

Straight Gay | |

Straight Gay: Nijinsky. Aside from the fact he's a Sharp-Dressed Man, there's no real indication (with the exception of his name, which most readers would not have picked up anyway) that he's gay until later in the novel. Also, possibly Ophelia. Though in the first book, it's not explicitly stated. However, she does say, "I don't hit on boys," in response to Wilkes asking whether she's hit on Vincent. A few pages later, when they are discussing what comes after death, Wilkes says, "A bunch of hot guy virgins ... A couple girls, too, maybe, just because life is short and try everything, right?" which Ophelia pointedly ignores. | |

And I Must Scream: Bug Man had a fantasy: he wanted to take one of Vincent's biots alive and haul it out into the macro. Keep it alive and play with it for a while. As Vincent went slowly mad. BZRK Reloaded reveals that Jessica was somewhat aware that she was wired/brainwashed by Bug Man, but couldn't quite grasp her situation. Vincent, who at the end of BZRK loses one biot and in the next book he's insane, but since he has other biots, his consciousness is still someone in his head. | |

Anti-Hero | |
| BZRK / int_beb9a361 | comment |
Anti-Hero: Vincent, who killed a woman in the first chapter in which he appeared, which did nothing to reassure the reader that the side of the biotic twitchers was the 'good' side. | |

Really Gets Around | |
| BZRK / int_bf1255fa | comment |
Really Gets Around/All Gays are Promiscuous: Nijinsky is indicated to promiscuous couple of times in the books. Burnofsky taunts him about that fact and reveals Nijinsky's father kicked him out as a teenager when he saw Nijinsky bent over "entertaining" a cable repairman. | |

Uptown Girl | |
| BZRK / int_c3286b8e | comment |
Uptown Girl: In a way. Sadie is wealthy, but Noah is a poor British boy. There is less focus on their financial aspects, but that might only be because they have bigger fish to fry. | |

He Who Must Not Be Seen: Lear, who is mentioned and deferred to, but does not appear once throughout the entire first book. Unless you think Lear is Tatiana Featherstonehaugh. (Never confirmed, and sort of unlikely, but Vincent suspected and she was doing something really important.) | |

20 Minutes into the Future | |
| BZRK / int_f32d85ab | comment |
20 Minutes into the Future: When the events of the book actually take place is never really said, but apart from the nanomachines everything is pretty much exactly the same as present day. There are casual references to modern pop culture (the Saw series of movies, for one) and things like Starbucks, but none of the mentioned heads of state match up with their current real-life counterparts, either. Really, the only reason we know it's in the future at all is because of the official summary on the Copyright page. | |
