In a City That Sells Perfection, Truth Has a Kill‑Switch
Hiro is a ghost—an off‑grid scavenger hunting rogue CerebroNet machines in the flooded bones of Old Town. His rules are simple: trust no one but Diego, and never, ever connect. Survival is a dance on the edge of the system, and Hiro knows every step.
Chosen by the system he despises
Then a routine hunt goes fatally wrong. Dragged back from the brink, Hiro wakes inside the sterile brilliance of New London—saved, apparently, by his sworn enemy. The all‑seeing AI that governs every heartbeat has intervened. The question isn’t how he lived. It’s why he was chosen.
Identity under edit. Loyalty under fire.
Following that why pulls Hiro into the cold heart of a conspiracy: human trials that rewrite identity, and a device that blurs the boundary between life and code. Under the precise, pitiless gaze of Ms Mordwell, Hiro is reforged into a weapon for a war he can’t yet see.
Two worlds will collide. A friendship will be tested.
