The century was coming to an end, paving the way for a strong digital era, and Amanda Hopkins was more than excited after receiving the brand new Cybersystem computer.
After chatting with her school friends online, she decides to surf the Cyberweb, finding mysterious forums with people all around the world. However, her parents were starting to regret buying her that computer after ominous news articles spread online about the dark side of Cybersystem.
In addition, Amanda continues to dive deeper into the Cyberweb, which leads to her meeting some strange people and discovering some horrible forums and viruses. By doing this, she was also able to find clues about the truth behind Cybersystem.
As if exposing Cybersystem wasn't hard enough, the company is right on Amanda's tail and constantly censoring any pages that contain incriminating evidence.
Amanda knows it's going to be nearly impossible to uncover the truth, from their company's own product nonetheless, but she truly believes she can outsmart the system.

City Gone Dark
This is a story of a cyberpunk revolution. But we do not follow the revolutionary. Cellia Sunway is only 16 years old when her mother commits an unforgivable act. In the futuristic dystopian city of Ebscido, where prosthetics are banned from the upper class regions of the city, the lower class find themselves cut off from the rest, and plunged into a terrible blackout. Without any way to charge themselves, they are cursed to die a slow and lonely death. Guilt troubles Cellia as she calls into question her own morality, family, and existence. Should she hate her own family for the destruction they've caused? Or should she allow herself to care for those she loves despite their crimes? Like all teenagers, she keeps these feelings under lock and key. But it doesn't take long before she's forced to confront everything: including her own right to live. In a post-apocalyptic cyberpunk dystopia, where cybernetics are despised, electricity is vital, and wickedness infests both the rich and the poor, the lives of innocent and guilty on both sides hangs in the balance. And Cellia is the only one who can tip the scales.

Em
Em is a young graduate with a troubled past and an even more troubled future. After finishing university she has just started her career at GCHQ, Britain's answer to the NSA. She soon finds herself involved with an investigation into a major threat against London and the Internet itself. Unprepared, and under huge pressure to catch unknown terrorists, Em starts to doubt whether she's cut out for secret government work. Things go from bad to worse when the terrorists realise she's close to uncovering their plans, and she's confronted with a nightmare from a past life she thought she'd forgotten. ***This is a cyber/techno mystery thriller with a touch of fanfic something else too. It covers a little about analysing data, neural networks, super computers and low-tech cyber terrorism.*** Also, it's my first attempt at writing a book. There's going to be about 30 chapters and 80k words of this, and I'll be adding new chapters to Wattpad as soon as they're "ready". By this I mean readable, but not perfect. Any comments and thoughts are welcomed. Any guesses about exactly why this is part fanfiction are welcome too!Complete
