    This is the prequel to the Darkside Earther trilogy. It's just a little taste of war in a virtual setting, spawned by the pretext of love. Sound like an old story? It is! But then add a mountain of worldbuilding to it, crazy tech, throw in a mass of scary politics, species-ending drama, space-battles, intelligent jungles, twisted matter, AIs, and pervasive nanotech... and then maybe the story isn't so old. :) Let's get a-hacking! :)

    In the year 2038, the world had grown so much that humans were running out of land to live on. In a desperate lunge to survive, a willing and knowledgeable hero, Max Steele, stood in a last ditch attempt to save human kind from the brink of moral turmoil. He gathered all the countries together and, with all the countries' leaders, rose to become the greatest dictator... or leader, the world had ever known. A computer was created to combat the growing communities by, every five months, sending out a mark in the shape of a small circle that would, at random, implant itself onto 600 people. Within minutes, they would be tracked and killed by elite specialists the world came to call, "Steelers". Monica Grant is your typical teenage girl, living a... somewhat normal life. She had somehow survived 16 years without getting a Dot, and she was feeling good about it. Her mother worked practically inside Max Steele's building, and she was sure she had him to thank for her survival. On Dot day she didn't bother to check herself... it would be just like the others... right? I originally found this idea, (about the dots, at least, I made up the rest), on a tiktok compilation video, so I'm not entirely sure who to credit, but I loved the idea, so here we are. Sorry I got kinda lazy on the description...

    The novel is part sci-fi, love story and autobiography. Most of the settings take place in the year 2017 where a person loses touch with reality. Based on the events that are happening in a coincidental pattern, Joseph has to figure out what is going on before it's too late and he loses his mind. Does he live in some sort of Matrix, or is stuck between Heaven and Hell, or is followed by the NSA, or is something else causing the unusual events? The situation is further complicated by thoughts and feelings for the love of his life. Joseph eventually solves the puzzle of what is going on and why has all this happened. As a result, he is able to see the world from different perspectives than ever before, and is able to strip away all the endless filters that many entities such governments and corporations place in front of people's eyes to keep them silent. The novel consists of two separate parts that are different but related to each other. In the second part, many current social, political and economic events are discussed, including the relationship between Artificial Intelligence and the deep state government, and the consequences of "business as usual" actions of our society.
