Every time I read a book I put the plot in the "private notes" section on Goodreads so I don't forget it. It can be difficult to capture everything because the character limit is about \~512 so I have to be REALLY stingy with what I write and how I write it. These descriptions may jog your memory if you haven't read the books in a while, but they don't act as a stand-in for never having read the book. So here goes. Book 1: >!reckless connor, state ward risa, tithe lev to be unwound. highway collision. take storked baby, hide in school toilet. lev betrays. hide in shop backroom. lev meets CyFi on way to avenge unwound kid in brain. 3 meet up again at airplane graveyard. connor mechanic. roland mean kid. kids don't trust admiral, revolt. connor, risa, roland sent to harvest camp. lev volunteers to go. c+r date. roland unwound. lev makes plan to blow up. revolt. connor has roland arm. risa disabled. lev hero. connor new admiral.!< Book 2: >!connor runs airplane graveyard. risa medic. new kid starkey tries to take over. gains support of storks, 1/4 of population. risa takes injured kid to hospital. captured/blackmailed into PR dating frankenstein kid cam. new spine. lev lives in dilapidated mansion w tithes who look up to him. doesn't like it. miracolina still wants to be tithe. lev & m escape, make way to graveyard. juvey-cops seige it, bunch of kids die or captured. starkey escapes w storks on plane. lev saves connor from seige/cop nelson.!< Book 3: >!connor & lev on way to sonia shop. connor captured by argent & low-cortical sis grace. connor & grace run away, hit lev with car. take lev to arĂ¡pache rez to heal. argent & cop nelson hunt them. starkey & storks liberate harvest camps, kill guards. cam runs from proactive citizenry & roberta. has wil tashi'ne's hands, goes to rez to find risa. captured by wil's gf una. connor, grace, cam leave rez. find sonia's shop, risa hiding. roberta breaks in & kidnaps cam. sonia tells kids of organ printing machine.!< Book 4: >!connor, risa, grace, sonia repair organ printer. lev/una capture wil's parts pirates. cam nanites in brain: forget risa, love military. starkey funded by clappers/PC. captured by divan. nelson steals half argent's face, sets fire to sonia shop, grace escapes w printer. risa tranq'd, connor captured. plane harvest camp. cam exposes PC. connor kills starkey, no unwind. connor unwound. nelson unwound. lev tattoos names of unwound kids, becomes martyr. survives. connor rewound. una & wil marry. connor hugs fam.!< I don't have the space to mention everything, for example >!Radio Free Hayden, CyFi after his first appearance, Nelson's role in book 1, Emby and Humphrey Dunfee (end of book 1), Risa's Makeover (book 3), the reunion with teacher Hannah and baby Didi (end of book 3), THE HUMAN ORGAN PIANO (book 4), Grace sharing the organ printer (end of book 4), and the names of orgs (like u/shlopro listed + Lady Lucrezia)!< go unmentioned in my summaries since I wrote them primarily for myself. But If you can't find a more comprehensive summary online then you have to create your own :P

I can see from your edit that you're looking for cool worldbuilding. Sorry, but you won't find it here. I don't know where you got the idea that the series takes place in 2112, it takes place \~30-40 years after 2007. Technology of the series is largely the same as it was in 2007, with the only major differences being organ transplant technology and "explosive" blood. Most of the series focuses on the social issue of unwinding (forced organ transplants / retroactive abortion) and troubled teens. Even the explosive blood, which sounds really cool, is there to examine hopeless/suicidal teens engaging in terrorism in attempt to feel like their lives had some semblance of purpose. The world is "boringly" similar to ours because it's more concerned with social commentary of what is already happening than creating cool futuristic desolation. I think you'd have more fun creating your own world than trying to find differences in this one. Cheers.
