In Bay City, salvation comes with a chip in your skull.

Phil Schooner has spent his life loading cargo on the docks, kept breathing by a failing lung implant he could never afford to replace. When he wins the Shared Vision Implant Lottery, it feels like mercy: new lungs, and the company's flagship MyHUD neural implant thrown in.

But the MyHUD doesn't just keep him alive. It begins to rewire him-sharpening his temper, turning cruelty into pleasure-until, one unrecognizable night, he does the unthinkable to the people he loves most.

Detective Simone Foxworth has seen what broken technology can do. As she links a string of impossible murders, she uncovers a truth the most powerful corporation in the city will kill to bury: the implant everyone is racing to buy can quietly turn anyone into a weapon. And it's weeks from reaching millions.

From the flooded docks of Bay City to a corporate research station in orbit, the truth runs deeper than one man's ruined life.

A Black Mirror-soaked cyberpunk thriller for lovers of Blade Runner and Cyberpunk 2077.

Industry Reviews

This is a human-vs-system story (ie: 1984), where more than characters' arc is the world (say the city of Bay City) itself that carries the story. A dark world where there are no heroes but also no villains, just people doing their job and making cynic cold decisions. I find the story dark, unsettling, thoroughly entertaining. And that's whiy I loved it. (Paul Hewson on Goodreads)

The characters are full dark cyberpunk and the interesting things is that you're pushed to root for none of them specificaly. It's like the world itself is the real main character and what I've loved the most actually. The set remembers classic cyberpunk but with very strong noir vibes. A good sci-fi makes you think and this book does it a lot. Starting from the lore that under the usual cyberpunk stuff sounds scarily familiar. This novel is dark, uneasy and impossible to put down. Well done! (Angus on Goodreads)
