In 2109, a war-weary investigator moves through a corporate-owned world of holographic feeds and supraorbital ships — trying to tune out a future that won’t let him.
Blade Runner’s future-noir cynicism, worn by a protagonist too jaded to be impressed by any of it.
The story
It’s 2109. Felix Pryce lies awake, fully dressed, in a Singapore airport capsule hotel, a holographic panel blinking the date above the bedside table. He moves through the mega-airport — feed-walls streaming a dozen networks, PDAs, tier-one and tier-two transplanet ships lifting off into the fog — with the practised indifference of a man who has done all this too many times. The Investigator is dense, melancholic noir science-fiction that worldbuilds by economy rather than exposition, around the oldest and best spine in the genre: a tired investigator, a corporate future, and a case about to find him. A Solar Storm property. First 20 pages.
