A Cyberpunk Novel

The man now known as Slade has had his head hollowed out. A brand new persona, a custom built replica of a vintage detective, guides him through the underbelly of a city in which fantasy and reality are indistinguishable.

 

Personalities are bought and sold. Worldviews have become a commodity. A cult of super-fans stalk a prominent industrialist. The dying government and the corporate powers edge ever closer to all-out war. Once a federal drone, now a hard-tack investigator, plunged into a whirlwind romp of corporate backstabbing, cyber-gnostic mysticism, altered states of consciousness, and the relentless pursuit of leisure, Slade is in above his head.

 

This novel is, at once, a descent through a nightmarish city, a genre-savvy homage to classic pulp, cyberpunk, and body horror, and a scathing interrogation of the attention economy, perfect for fans of Philip K. Dick, J. G. Ballard or William Gibson.
