The Electric Archipelago (WIP) by MicahZDar

This is the first draft of my new cyberpunk novel, The Electric Archipelago. In the future humanity is imprisoned by massive corporations. Computers are directly connected to their brains, creating a nightmarish state of absolute control, every action is monitored and harshly judged. Perhaps worst of all, the victim's perception of reality itself is controlled. A system of social credit hangs over everyone's heads. If you want to survive you will need to pick a company and stay loyal to that brand. But it goes beyond that, because each corporation has been infiltrated and taken over by forces that are interested in more than just profit. John is a Skinwalker, a free man, a man who is immune to these restrictions. He goes where he wants and does what he wants, moving from one augmented reality to the next, always looking for the next score.

A young woman with a medical problem uses her own invention and some borrowed corporate resources in an attempt to cure herself. She loses everything in the process. Now at the edge of poverty, she tries to rebuild her life, changing the world and taking revenge in unexpected and far reaching ways.

On the war-ravaged planet Heros, survivors fight against relentless Machines, hidden conspiracies, and the harsh wasteland. As factions clash and secrets unfold, the fate of humanity hangs in the balance. (Work in progress/First draft)

With artificial life ruling the Earth, small human rebellions seem to be the only hope for humanity's freedom, but can the world survive if humans are allowed to thrive?

Short stories. A collection of indepent works, mainly science fiction, dystopian, and even fantasy. Enjoy

In a world where humanity has achieved utopia through advanced technology and AI, a hidden flaw threatens to unravel everything. An unlikely group of misfits discovers that their perfect society is built on the suppression of individual dreams. As they delve deeper, they must choose between the comfort of illusion and the perilous pursuit of true freedom.

In the New United Coalition of America (NUCA) in the 2650s, following the brutal Robot Wars, anything deemed not 'conducive to peace' is gone -- restricted or redacted by the government. Yet in an age where censorship is law, punks, artists, and rebels thrive in the shadows, especially in the despised cyborg communities. This story asks what happens when the freedom of speech is compromised for the sake of safety.

Six Bullets For John Carter by chadeagleton

In the future, thieves don't steal your identity, they steal you. The man didn't care who a client wanted or why, as long as they could pay. He buried his conscience under a mountain of wealth and there it stayed...until he agreed to grow the blonde from Alpha Centauri... Burned by a powerful client, the man fled Mars for the free cities, the anarchist encampments along the Kuiper Belt, and the black market strongholds secreted in the Oort Cloud. But now he's tired of running. A slice-and-splice job has given him a new face and new body, but the rewrite will kill him in a matter of days. He's got a powerful gun, but the weapon only came with six bullets. He's sacrificing everything for revenge, but what will it get him? A violent and philosophical cyberpunk novella.

In a near-future world, advanced artificial intelligence systems govern global cities, ensuring stability and prosperity at the expense of individual freedoms. Citizens live in apparent peace, unaware that their movements, emotions, and thoughts are being monitored and controlled. In this controlled environment, a young protagonist discovers an encrypted message that leads them to a secret group of rebels striving to reclaim freedom and save humanity from technological oppression.
