Book Description
No one knew what to do the day the Internet died. It was not unlike what happens to a family when the matriarch, the mother, dies. Everything was disrupted. Rituals were forgotten. The way ahead was up for grabs. The same thoughts raced through everyone's mind: 'What happens now? Who will hold my hand in the darkness? Who will fix my broken dreams? Who will comfort me against the chaos?'Like Pandora's box, the inception of the Internet brought about actual changes in the human brain that once unleashed now raged outside the bounds of landlines, wifi routers, and server farms. All the darkness, terrible ideas, and unconscious thoughts that migrated from user's minds to the Web, now spilled out onto the street like an open sewer. Even thirty-one years later, in 2069, no one knows who turned the Internet off.Or do they?

Book Description
Old Seattle 2069. The Internet has been dead for thirty-one years. North America is an ecological hellscape. The USA is a patchwork of hyper-political city-states and rogue nations. The police have disbanded. And somebody is killing Nobodies. In a searing cyberpunk vision of the future, the sinister Black Devilfish walks the endless rainy streets of an overpopulated megalopolis nightmare searching for his soul. The bizarre Devil power suit belies a hard-pressed insomniac struggling to find meaning in his aimless existence. Inhabiting a miserable pop-culture world-slathered with banal sex, everyday murder, and god-like techno-sorcery-the man inside the power-suit is lost. He spends his nights drowning his sorrows in Lysol sponges, calling a wife he can't remember, and stalking the streets for other ultra-famous Nobodies. But who are the Nobodies? In a future where only the ultra-rich can afford to be anonymous, the Nobodies run Old Seattle. Nobodies of 2069 are a ridiculous and lethal mix of psychotic Pokemon characters, self-righteous movie stars, ultra-entitled billionaires, real-life superheroes, and unarrestable war criminals-all at once. Wearing quantum-gen-powered armor suits, they do whatever they want, without any fear of reprisal. Behind the Nobody mask, their real identity remains a hermetic secret. After the brutal execution of ultra-famous mute pop singer Zarathustra Kardashian, it seems there's much more to the party-chasing Nobodies than meets the eye. Amid the mayhem, a new street drug hits the scene-Pfixion-a transcendental substance said to make the user feel they are a fictional character in a book or novel.Before long, the Devilfish is dragged into the multi-faceted world of Pfixion and the Nobodies. He soon spirals, losing all hold on his identity, his life, and his psyche. But then a new slew of Nobody slayings jolt the Devilfish into action, waking him from his amnesiac haze. In the end, the Devilfish's sense of honor and family will clash with the Nobody's world of lies and deceit-transforming him into a deadly harbinger of the truth. The real truth.

Pages : 155
Book Description
Eve is an eighteen-year-old spitfire in the Garden of Eden with an inverted moral compass and a comedically twisted view of the world. After having discovered a great truth about the universe from Satan, who calls himself Serpent, she decides to sneak into higher realms of consciousness and wants him to join her. He agrees, but part of the deal is that Eve reincarnates on Earth to perform a task for him first. After this last hurrah, which takes place in the ancient colony of Atlantis, he’ll gladly join her. However, her assignment ends up causing all of human civilization a tremendous amount of suffering. Despite fulfilling her end of the bargain, Serpent reneges on his promise. Feeling betrayed, Eve reincarnates on Earth once again, only this time seeking to serve God rather than Serpent. By this point on Earth, a powerful secret society has taken control of the world, and Eve will need the help of her human father to expose the group by hacking into worldwide media conglomerates. She should be cautious, though, because the people she has hurt in the past will show up now to torment her. Will she succeed in trying to expose the secret society? And will she ever be able to fully abandon Serpent, or will she seek vengeance against him for tricking her? [Contains some graphic violence, no romance].
