When a collection run goes bad, Tina faces a choice: She can die, or risk everything on one last job. One to wipe the debts clean and fix her body permanently. But is her freedom worth the price?

cyberpunk: 2075 parte 2
Crossing over into the world of Cyberpunk 2077 should be an opportunity to make a big splash... Wait, hold on, isn't this the year 2075? Sure, it's already November, and 2076 is just around the corner, but I only know about what happens in 2077! In this world, you might not want to live, but you can't afford to not have a job. Anyway, let's start by becoming a mercenary and picking up gigs. That sounds simple enough, but getting a job from a fixer only to face off against an ACPA (Armored Combat Personal Assist) right off the bat-aren't we going a bit overboard here? And who's this daughter of Michiko Arasaka? I've only seen the demo; I don't know these people! What kind of chaotic mission is this!?

The Last 0-Day
The cybernetics revolution knows no compromise. Luciana Gutierrez, a police officer, works ninety-six-hour shifts with a eugeroic hangover around the corner. Her investigation into those who stole her life is sidelined as a crime syndicate turns her precinct into a war-zone. Sent for backup, she's offered experimental technology that could turn the tide, if she's willing to risk mind, body, and soul. Anton Grissom's birth was a crime, and his sentence is military service. Molded into an elite soldier, his path of atonement falls away when he's caught on the losing side of a massacre. In the aftermath, he's offered a second chance at life-if he's prepared to pay. Weaver heals the broken and disposable, and in the process makes cybernetics a reality. Superhuman strength, intelligence, and connections to one another, it could solve humanity's problems or tear society apart. But those concerns are secondary to Weaver, who just wants to see the next sunrise. All three are augmented for their own personal crusade and are on a collision course that will change the world. The Last 0-Day is an action-packed adventure about the start of the cybernetics revolution. It's Black Mirror meets Malazan Book of the Fallen with a dash of cli-fi.

All Avia ever wanted was a normal life someplace where she was loved, and she loved in return. But between a humanity threatening conspiracy and fellow Aberrants that truly earned the label, that seemed an impossible dream.Complete

Cyberpunk 2021
Spoiled by luxury and driven by ambition, Artemis-a young hitwoman-can't seem to escape the shadows of a fractured world left behind by those who came before her. In cities made of neon-lit ruins and broken promises, she's learnt to survive by cutting corners and making deals in the dark. But the interesting thing about survival, is that it always comes at a cost. And the further she goes, the messier it gets. As Artemis sinks further into a world of corporate corruption and underground schemes, she begins to realize she's caught in the unfinished business of a forgotten war. A war with secrets so deep that even its echoes can still change lives, challenge loyalties, and threaten everything she thought she knew. But how long can she keep doing this? Running from the past-hers and everyone else's? Now, with a buried conspiracy that's been building for two decades starting to unravel, its consequences could reshape the future of the world itself. (This story is based on the Cyberpunk 2020 universe but is effectively its own.)
Grid: Omnipotence Series
In the year 2136, the city of Echelon Prime stands as both a marvel of neon progress and a prison of control. Ruled by the omniscient Architect, a cyber-god who bends every system to his will, the city's citizens live under constant surveillance, their freedoms erased in exchange for order. Amid the towering spires and glitching holograms, whispers of rebellion stir in the undercity, where resistance fighters seek to fracture the Architect's grip. At the heart of this struggle is Nocturnal, an engineer by day and a shadowed vigilante by night, armed with his inventions and the loyalty of his companion Pancho. But Echelon Prime's problems run deeper than tyranny alone-vengeful outcasts like Remnant, cold enforcers, and even the unstable interference of the omnipotent anti-hero Infinite threaten to tip the balance into chaos. As readers enter this fractured world, they will follow Nocturnal's journey through betrayal, shifting alliances, and impossible choices, fighting not only for freedom but to uncover what it truly means to resist in a city built to never let go.
