A futuristic spin on the modern world gives V a chance to see her life under the light of what might happen to the world in the years to follow.
But this world has its own rules. It is possible to view each world as a game, which grants a win to everyone once they have finished their cycles of life and death. This one is not an exception. Filled with cyberpunks, vehicles suspended high in the air, loner wolves, and crimes (that all seem to be misleading), it sounds like a simple fictional comic book.
Until you try it out for yourself.
What is the biggest crisis of humanity? The depletion of sources necessary for survival?
Or something...more?
After all,
the line between fiction and reality is so very, very thin.

All that is Darkness
To her mother she has always been Chloe, but to the rest of the world she has had many names. Her life is a fiction, like the stories in a book, changing from place to place, village to village, town to town, from one end of Haven to the other. It has been that way ever since she can remember: a life of secrets, constantly on the run, fleeing the mysteries of her mother's past. But now things are changing. She is changing. The world she thought she knew is a tissue of lies. Things are happening that she cannot explain: troubling dreams and nightmares that seem no less real than life itself. And as the truth about her mother begins to unfold, Chloe finds herself caught up in a web of intrigue and deceit that reaches back to before the founding of Haven, when plans were put in motion that would determine her future and set her on a path to places beyond her imagining. Questions mount, and answers remain elusive. And when a decades old book that maintains the world is not the way it's supposed to be comes into her possession, Chloe is in for the shock of her life. The deeper she digs, the more terrifying the truth, until at last she must confront the possibility that in a world where to be human is to be one of a tiny minority, she may not even be that. She may be something else. Someone else. And the only place she may be safe is in her other life.Complete

As Bruno hunts those responsible, the car watches, learns, and begins to question the very nature of humanity-especially when faced with the ultimate decision: to remain a machine or become something more.Complete
Hacking the Sun - The Re-Remake
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.Complete
