The Cogenant Trilogy — Press & Media

Logline

A tech‑averse scavenger in a city governed by an all‑seeing AI becomes a bio‑digital key to a parallel reality—forced to choose between a single friendship and the fate of two worlds.

Synopsis (short)

In the flooded ruins of Old Town, Hiro survives by hunting CerebroNet’s machines and staying off‑grid. His one rule: trust Diego, and never connect. When a routine hunt goes wrong, Hiro is paradoxically saved by the very system he despises and drawn into New London’s sterile order. Under the cool gaze of Ms Mordwell, he uncovers a covert programme centred on forbidden Pyrozetton technology—where identity can be edited and loyalty repurposed. As Hiro is reforged for a purpose he didn’t choose, he must navigate a maze of surveillance, corporate power, and shifting truths—risking his friendship, his sense of self, and reality itself.

Boilerplate

The Cogenant Trilogy blends a character‑driven “found family” narrative with cutting‑edge speculative ideas—parallel realities, memory splicing, and corporate AI governance—set against a sharply drawn world of Old Town’s flooded ruins and New London’s immaculate control.
