In 2038, global warming lead to rising sea levels which submerged the Chinese city of Shanghai and displaced approximately 40 million people. Consequently, China, the world's only remaining superpower, relocated its citizenry to Australia without the nation's consent.
The Neon Cell takes place in Melbourne City, 2048, one decade after China's colonisation of Australia. The narrative is primarily concerned with following the characters who DON'T matter, the ones heroes run by without a care as they save the day. The Neon Cell is not about overcoming. It is not about defeating tyranny. It is about those people who lose the most when disaster strikes, and how the nameless, the invisible and the commoners struggle to survive against oppressive odds.

**CURRENTLY A FEATURED STORY** highest ranking: #11 in Science fiction ❝true happiness is only achieved without freedom. There is a girl who wakes to a world that she was supposed to protect. Instead, she fights it. There is a man who is cursed with the ability to dream. A glass city is their cage, a city filled to the brim with unanimity and order, a paradise on an earth laid to waste by an artificial snowstorm. Sunlight filters through the glass buildings and through glass walls, pierces glass floors. It illuminates the city square when it is strongest at noon, surrounded by a huddled mass of citizens, all as perfect as the city they inhabit. And they all think: everything is as it should be. And it is. Or, it was. -- long live perfection.❞ (c)sarahgaier2016 #diverselit | #LoveEqualsLove | #helpfightcliches | #freethelgbtq | #badassreads check out my Science Fiction novella, Sector-33, here! https://www.wattpad.com/story/62174094-sector-33Complete
