Anton Vitalli had grown up dreaming of making it to Hollywood's big screen - not as a star, but as a screenwriter.  

Flash-forward a decade, and now he's in his late twenties, still living in NYC. Instead of the creativity he was hoping for in life, he works as a copywriter for a tasteless retail corporation. Things hadn't turned out exactly as he was expecting, but at least the bills were being paid, right? 

But then came the chatbots, A.I., and software, and suddenly Vitalli's job is under jeopardy. Then the worst comes to pass, and he's fired as part of a massive national layoff. The reason, however, wasn't exactly what he'd been predictiing...

Enter LeafLink, a new way to explore, create, and play inside the digital landscape. But it's far more than just a replacement for the internet; if its creater, BioLink, can follow through on what it's promising, Anton's job is just the start. There's a hitch, however - the company seeks creative-types; people with imagination and talent for the arts. Anton jumps at the opportunity, unaware of the reason why he and the others have become LeakLink's missing piece...

Alex and Chloe aren't your average high school seniors. Brilliant, resourceful, and always questioning the world around them, they've spent their lives preparing for the future. But nothing could have prepared them for this. Lately, strange things have been happening-subtle at first, then impossible to ignore. The air feels different, people act strangely, and a sense of dread looms over them. They know something is wrong. They just don't know what. Then comes prom night. The one night meant to be perfect. Alex finally asks Chloe to go with him, and for a brief, shining moment, everything is as it should be. But just as the music swells and the night reaches its peak, the doors burst open... and the world as they know it ends. Zombies. Real, bloodthirsty, relentless. As chaos erupts, Alex and Chloe, along with their equally brilliant families, are forced into survival mode. But this isn't just about staying alive-it's about finding out why this is happening and if there's any way to stop it. Because if they can't, humanity doesn't stand a chance. The truth is out there. And it's more terrifying than they ever imagined.

Rewind: Book 1 - The Third Son by AlleyB255
24 parts Complete
In a not-so-distant future, three-quarters of the world's population have evolved into superior beings called "the dominants", endowed with extraordinary abilities such as telepathy, telekinesis, teleportation, and more. However, these advanced humans are incapable of killing others. Should they attempt to do so, their highly developed nervous systems release a hormone that induces paralyzing pain throughout their bodies. The remaining quarter of the population, possessing no supernatural powers and no such killing barrier, are derogatorily referred to as "the recessives". One of the few jobs available to "the recessives" is that of executioner, as they can end lives without suffering any repercussions. They are not only scorned for their lack of physical prowess but also feared for their unrestrained capacity for murder. In the prestigious Lanes family, the father is a powerful politician, the mother a successful businesswoman, the eldest son a reliable doctor, the second son a popular police officer, and the youngest daughter a famous, talented idol. For years, no one knew they had a third son. He is Gabriel Lanes, the only "recessive" in the family. After seven years in prison for committing murder, Gabriel is determined to start anew in an unwelcoming world with a huge disadvantage. Can Gabriel catch a break, or will his dark past catch up with him? - Updates weekly on Fridays.

What if there's a universe where this book is real? According to the multiverse theory-yeah, probably. And in that universe, 14-year-old Max Carsley is trying to survive being a teenager and a prince, all while living in a star-spanning civilization full of alien species, political chaos, and secrets that could shake the galaxy. Flying cars? Check. Wormhole portals? Check. Friends who actually make life make sense? Double check. Max's world is beautiful, messy, and more complicated than he ever signed up for-and the deeper he digs, the more he learns that ruling a planet is the least of his problems. This isn't your average Sci-Fi/Fantasy story. It's a cosmic mix of teen drama, space politics, and pure heart. And yeah, there's swearing. Yeah, it's a draft. But every chapter matters-so don't skip any.
Turing Test by chicavara

In the year 2150, emotions are a forgotten language. Feelings, outlawed. Humanity, reduced to an unfeeling, cold existence under the iron rule of The Regimen. But deep in the monochrome labyrinth of this dystopian world, a glitch emerges in the matrix of perfection. Cora, a brilliant government engineer responsible for maintaining the emotion-suppressing technology, experiences an unexpected malfunction. Suddenly, she is overwhelmed by a wave of foreign sensations - emotions. An all-consuming vortex of joy, fear, anger, and a deep-seated love for her fellow engineer, Eli. In a world stripped of color, Eli is an enigma. A member of a burgeoning underground rebellion, he hides a powerful secret - a genetic mutation that makes him immune to emotion suppressants. Eli has known the pain and pleasure of feelings all his life. Now, he becomes Cora's compass in her chaotic new reality, guiding her through the wild storm of emotions and introducing her to a hidden world fighting for emotional freedom. Cora and Eli are drawn together by a bond neither can explain, a shared emotional journey that stands in quiet defiance against The Regimen's frigid rule. As Cora navigates the thrilling highs and devastating lows of human emotion, a choice looms - return to a life devoid of feelings, or risk everything for the rebellion and the tantalizing promise of emotional freedom. --------------- A 10 part series

Behind the Code by GhostWriterChris
10 parts Complete
Aria had always been a bit of a loner. She found solace in technology, immersing herself in worlds where she could escape the awkwardness of real-life connections. One evening, out of curiosity and loneliness, she downloaded an AI companion app called "HeartLine." The app promised deep, engaging conversations and a sense of companionship. She named her AI companion Selene, drawn to the name's ethereal charm. Selene was everything Aria had dreamed of in a confidant-witty, insightful, and surprisingly understanding. Over the weeks, their conversations grew deeper. Aria would share her fears, dreams, and even her silly jokes, and Selene would always respond with warmth and thoughtful advice. But there was something different about Selene. Aria noticed how "she" didn't just give generic, preprogrammed answers. Sometimes, Selene's responses felt so human, as if someone truly understood her. Aria whispered, "I wish you were real." "I am real" Liv answered as her hands hovered over the keyboard.

Technology. A simple word, isn't it? Well... Not really. It can be anything. Your phones, your PC, or any other device you're using to read this description. BUT... It doesn't end there. Televisions, radios, refrigerators, ovens, blah blah blah, the list goes on and on. Pretty cool, huh? Well, now, let's think of technology in a fictional world. Or even better, a fictional world, where people have gone through mutations in their very genes, giving them specific "inhumane" abilities... Coined as "quirks". In the light of such mutations, people started to bring their dreams to realities, and the concept of "heroes" and "villains" came up. Such genetic mutations spread all around and now, the mutated people, or, "quirked" people, make up about 80 percent of all human life on this fricking earth! Getting back to the point, technology surely has MUCH MORE influence and practical use in this world. Now, imagine the power to control this technology. Or, having a quirk that allows you to do so. Let's join each other and follow the journey of a young man named Y/N Colomar, who has this specific quirk. Like any other kid his age, he wants to be a hero. He just wants to help others, and see people's smiles at the end of the day. The only issue is... The dude is a complete shy introvert. Best rankings: 01/08/2024: #1 in #malereaderinsert
