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...

egomania ɛɡə(ʊ)ˈmeɪnɪə,iː-/ noun obsessive egotism or self-centered-ness "Now I'm older I tend to rarely argue with my fists but believe me when I say that my words pack a powerful punch. Carefully spoken, without drama, my words have an air of finality to them and no matter how hard the opposition railed against me, nothing would change my mind." The story of a fifteen year old sociopath as he embarks on his journey through life. Far too early in his life, Nathan was forced to look out for himself. With his mother giving up on him when he was seven years old, he spiralled downwards as time progressed, ultimately landing him in a mental hospital. To say the very least, in the years leading up to his departure from adolescence, Nathan McKenzie was not the stablest of individuals.However, he was a decent kid on the surface. You could say that he had the full package. Good looking, smart, witty, sarcastic, charming. Only one problem. None of it was real. Behind the arrogant facade he was still the same heartless, paranoid little boy he always was. Some would say that spending half of your life in a psych ward would do that to a person, others said it was his own choice. Slowly becoming so lost in his own loneliness and hostility, Nathan began to shut down from the world. Eventually leaving him with nothing but the biggest choice anyone could ever have to make. To live, or to die?
