Immechanica

2054, Los Angeles. An age of total surveillance, corruption, and untrammeled corporate power, where most citizens keep their heads down, or risk losing them. Yet there are those determined to resist. When impulsive, naive party girl Nadine falls in love with the wrong person, she tumbles into an abyss whose inhabitants are hunted as terrorists, feared for their hacking skills, and loathed by the rich and powerful. Soon she is on the run in a treacherous underworld she is not prepared for: a place of high-tech DNA-tuned poisons, brain hacking, autonomous killer drones, and systematic government corruption. Trust and betrayal lurk around every corner, and each step down the rabbithole risks pieces of herself she cannot afford to lose. How long before there's nothing left? Debut author E.F. Coleman offers a searing glimpse into a dystopia that is at once bleak and all too plausible. As the prophet said, when it's you against the world, back the world.
