14-PART ANTHOLOGY SERIES
TECH-NOIR CRIME THRILLER
exponential progress eventually runs amok
By 2029, government-owned quantum computers have saved the global economy twice from two failed attempts to encrypt the financial records of an international conglomerate owning 87% of worldwide debt. The wealth gap has doubled and 'smart cities' are now commonplace, but are constantly vulnerable to cyber-attacks. This desperate world has bred a vast population of hackers - now made up of everyday people, just trying to get ahead any way they can, trying to provide for their families, all just trying to survive.
It's Joe Faraday's first week in Engineering at a facility owned by the massive conglomerate, which is currently developing the brain children of over 30 different companies on the bleeding edge of paradigm-shifting technology - Genetics, Robotics, Artificial Intelligence, Nanotechnology, Particle Acceleration, Quantum Processors and New Sources of Energy. Anything seems possible at the moment, and Joe's week just gets more unpredictable once he's blackmailed by an infamous yet mysterious black marketeer peddling 'inside intel' for the new wolves of Wall Street.
