On Planet Earth, life goes on for Ignis Oriri, a teenager almost halfway through her sophomore year of high school. Her parents both own big tech companies, which she's been preparing to run all her life. She spends her days getting good grades, participating in tech competitions all over the state, and hanging out with her friends, living a peaceful life overall. Life, however, has a change of plans. A threat is rising, not on Earth, but in a parallel world. Ignis gets swept up into it after a visit from an old family friend, discovering new friends, new technology, new dangers, and, oh, maybe a bit of magic. She finds that she's been handpicked to someday become part of the government of this world, along with five others.

Hacking the Sun - The Re-Remake by NineLight

Jessica Leibniz tried to be a normal teenager, but unlike most teenagers in the 22nd century, she can tell time without a clock. So what good is a watch... unless it comes with incriminating A.I? It's part of a fashion sense that involves 1980's nostalgia, nerdom, and rebellion. Otherwise, you have a normal, nineteen-year-old delivery girl by day and freelance hacker by night. Everything else is unremarkable in a future where aliens rule the planet. After assimilation in the 21st century, which could have ended more violently, Earth has become relatively peaceful and technologically efficient, so they say. Corporations still reign supreme, except a new species sits at the top of the social ladder. These overlords have constructed a new kind of city in the web of planetwide sprawl. Eden: a modern megapolis. Jessica has learned to embrace Eden and its challenges. Without a cause, she confides in three friends or smacks into boredom. But when she seamlessly cracks an uncrackable security algorithm, nothing makes sense, and boredom gives way to danger. Hacker life takes to the streets, and beyond, in a desperate flight from the world's most powerful corporation. Faced with conspiracy, tragedy, and a new life on the run, normal is no longer an option.

Quantum Deception by EnigmaExplorers

In a world where reality is negotiable and the future is a probability wave, one woman holds the key to humanity's survival-or its destruction. Meet Eve Thorne: MI6's top quantum spy, a master of parallel possibilities, and now, the reluctant guardian of the multiverse. When a routine mission uncovers "Project Oracle," a shadowy initiative with the power to predict-and control-the future, Eve is thrust into a high-stakes game of multiversal chess. With the enigmatic Puppeteer pulling strings from the shadows and realities collapsing around her, Eve must navigate a labyrinth of quantum deception where every choice splits the timeline and every ally could be an enemy in disguise. Joined by brilliant physicist Dr. Amelia Zhao, charming CIA operative Gabriel Stone, and a host of unexpected allies from across the quantum divide, Eve races against time-and probability itself-to unravel a conspiracy that threatens not just our world, but every possible version of it. "Quantum Deception" fuses cutting-edge physics with heart-pounding espionage, taking readers on a mind-bending journey through parallel worlds, each fraught with danger and possibility. As the lines between friend and foe, reality and illusion blur, one question remains: In a universe of infinite possibilities, can free will survive? Dive into a reality-warping adventure that will challenge your perceptions, quicken your pulse, and leave you questioning the very nature of existence. "Quantum Deception"-where the observer effect is a weapon, Schrödinger's cat is a state secret, and the fate of all possible worlds hangs in the balance. Are you ready to collapse the wave function?

White Crystal Butterflies | Wattys 2021 Shortlist | ✔ by SmokeAndOranges

❖ Interstellar pilot and ex-adventurer Alex Gallegos must keep their team safe on an icy moon as sentient storms threaten to repeat the tragedy that ended their last career. ❖ Everyone in the United Inhabited Solar Systems (for some reason, UIS for short) knows to stay away from Mahaha. The icy moon is notorious for failed probe landings and research missions that end in tragedy: the only people to ever venture to its surface needed rescuing after just two weeks. When a prestigious research group decides they want a turn, they ask Alex Gallegos to lead the team. Perfectly qualified and haunted by their past, Alex accepts, hoping to make up for old mistakes and get just a little further from the earth they've left behind. Two months into the seven-month mission, the team is struggling with discontent, damaged equipment, and blizzards acting less and less like normal weather. As Mahaha moves out of range of help and the storms take on a more malicious character, Alex must face the one foe they could never have prepared for. Mahaha may or may not be alive. ❖❖❖ Complete. Wattys 2021 Shortlister. Standalone sequel (Rocks Can Dance) coming in 2023. Comments and critiques are both welcome and appreciated.
