Citizen D

Dystopian

What’s really more terrifying? A world where technology has set every rule – or the humans hellbent on breaking them?

“My fake teeth are stained with coffee; now they look like everyone else’s teeth. I haven’t told Garry or anyone else about my synth bone skull. That’s a secret.”

In the future, the Artificial Intelligence League has declared humans a safety hazard and banned them from manual labor. With unemployment rocketing, street gangs multiply, and crime runs rampant. Unskilled D citizens are the worst off. Forced into small and shoddy housing, and scraping by on A.I. government credits, if the gangs don’t kill them then the lethal street meth probably will.

Even citizens with genetically engineered upgrades can’t escape the rot that life’s become. But one man decides he’s going to – or die trying.

Adam-177 is a foul-mouthed D citizen with autistic spectrum disorder and an uncanny knack of antagonizing practically everyone he meets.

He’s not good with humans. But the Artificial Intelligences he comes in constant contact with seem to get him. So, when he ends up near-dead after yet another gang attack, he uses their help in a plan to beat the system and maybe just save humanity while he’s doing it.

But the best-laid plans always come with a price and some prices come with a hell of a lot of pain…

From the author of the fast-paced dystopian adventure series Shadow Dragon comes another dark and intense cyberpunk tale of a future world where A.I. rules have left humans scrabbling for survival - unless you know how to flip the system.
