Would you believe me? She's on her own. Alone. Isolated yet well-known. This tough, alluring, independent lady lives behind the walls of her loneliness. The Queen of Isolation you might say. But for how long do you think she could handle it if one day, a guy would come along and dare to wreck this walls? Would she let him in? Or would she stay as ...THE SELFIE QUEEN?

"Anong mas pipiliin mo: taong mahal mo na hindi ka mahal o taong mahal ka pero hindi mo mahal?"

The greatest tragedy the world has ever known turned out to be the ultimate catalyst for change. In the wake of World War III, which decimated most of the world's population, the remaining survivors vowed to not continue to repeat the same mistakes of the past. Fortunately, they had something previous generations did not have - advanced technology. The year is 2117 and this once shattered civilization has become prosperous again. Innovative forms of technology have enabled them to abandon the old model and re-engineer a better way of living for all. Brain implants and genetic modifications have made an entire population educated, healthy, and kind. Despite the benefits of this technology, it has created some unforeseen side effects that threaten humankind's existence. When technology proves to be inept at solving the world's problem, a new hope emerges in the unlikeliest form - a young orphan girl. *** Cyberpunk, dystopian, technology, future, futurism, scifi, heroine, prodigy...
