Richard Yonck: Mindstock, Gebunden

Blurb

Fans of Neuromancer, Black Mirror and Philip K. Dick, meet your next reality. Psychologically complex, strikingly prophetic, and sweeping in its implications, Mindstock is a gripping science-fiction techno-thriller for our times.

In the aftermath of the Great Unknowing -a catastrophic cyberattack that shattered the world's information systems-civilization found itself on the edge of collapse. But from the rubble rose the Consortia, an enigmatic cabal of technocrats who restored order, ushering in a new era of automation, surveillance, and conformity.

Now, decades later, society runs on a novel form of AI that is as enticing as it is controlling. In a world where nearly all jobs have been eliminated and truth is rewritten daily, few dare to question the all-powerful technoligarchy that rules over them.

But when Robyn , a truth investigator, and Darius, an art hacktivist, independently unearth different parts of the Consortia's dark secret, each soon finds themself in a race to uncover the rest before it's too late. As Robyn chases digital ghosts and Darius shines light on the deception, their paths will converge to unravel the illusion that controls their society...or doom it forever.
