The Solace - A city normally reputed as a large, beautiful utopia with everything one can need; food, water, and a wonderful view of the city.
Naturally, that is only the case for the more fortunate ones. For those of lower standing, such as Lyn, life is a constant battle for survival. A brawl to see who comes out on top.
Those who WERE born into a high spot in life, such as Kaid, have seen the atrocities committed by the corruption that ends up enveloping all, including his parents who succumbed to the horrible nature that the elites tend to follow. After experiencing a falling-out from grace based on his own choice and ignition, he is out on a never-ending journey to change the city, one step at a time.All Rights Reserved

Former streetkid Piper Russell soon finds herself facing a new enemy that has only one goal: to destroy the world she knows, and everyone in it. * || SOMETIMES THE PAST DOESN'T DIE || North of the river, Hadrian is a city reeling from a fallout between its competing tech corporations.

Caught in the middle of a vicious, shadow-conflict, Piper finds her loyalties tested from all sides. Filled with living metal implants, owned by no corporation, and wanted by all of them, she has to tread the finest of lines to stay alive, all while trying to unravel the mystery of her origins.

ARC10 by LLMontez

[Book 1 of the ARC10 Trilogy] **Winner of the 2017 Watty Storysmith award** The President created an underground safe-haven for the survivors of the alien invasion. He built it to save them all from total annihilation. He protects them, feeds them, keeps them under his ever-watchful gaze so they can live. All he asks is that they obey. Captain Janika Lorn doesn't want to obey. Not if it means spreading her legs and contributing to the President's precious eugenics program. As a perfect candidate for the Human Hope Project, she is obligated by law to make more citizens for the dying society. But all she wants is her freedom to fight the Invaders and protect the people who already exist. If the mandated program wasn't bad enough, the worst part is trying to fulfill it with Captain Dean Freyer, her scientifically matched partner and best friend of sixteen years. Just as Captain Lorn is about to succumb to her fate, another opportunity arises. A mysterious commanding officer asks her to lead a human refugee ship--to save humanity by evacuating the destroyed Earth and shuttling the remaining population to a new habitable exoplanet 400 light years away. The mission is perilous. Especially because now, standing between her and her freedom is the hostile alien hosts of her ship, the ARC10, a sister returned from the dead, an array of impossibly confusing alien tech, a rekindled heat between her and Dean, and a sexy militia chief she can't seem to keep her hands off of. ARC10 is a romance-heavy sci-fi with the speculative horror of Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale and the military action of Battle: Los Angeles. Cover art by @FayLane Copyright © 2016 by LL Montez

Dust by angrychinchillanoise

All the earth is torn asunder. There used to be grass, and the sun used to be golden. Children played outside, climbing trees with smiles on their faces and grass stains on their knees. People worried about a million things that would soon be irrelevant, continuing without a clue of the disaster to come. Centuries later, what little is left of humanity survives in a society constructed beneath the surface of a glass dome, the world outside converted to little more than a desert wasteland. Survival is a routine rather than an effort, and all rules are surpassed by only one: if you want to survive, you never leave the dome. There's nothing alive out there. The radiation that soaks the earth makes sure of that. Until one day, someone finds a bloody, dust-covered handprint on the outside of the glass. Nothing will ever be the same again. Book 1 of the Burning Series Highest ranking: #13 in Adventure on 03/04/16

Some survive on offshore platforms and converted ships, away from the watchful eye of the android forces. But life on the waves is often dangerous, and not everyone is as they seem...

NHD by TheHackz

I have sat often in front of the computer, and stared long at the screen without ever writing a word. The synopsis for this project has haunted me since the first person asked me "So, what is it about?", and to this day I have never been able to deliver a straight answer. This book is about a number of things, many of which do not fit evenly into a succinct description. I have tried to make them fit and have found the resulting descriptions ill-representing and dull. Thus, I have decided to go without a description. This book will fade into obscurity no matter what I put here, so I might as well write what's really important. Winter in a city is an especially punishing time. This book comes out of my late nights and early mornings riding the train, and my looking at the window and being able to make out nothing but the blur of the glass. From the outside it may look dead, but certain people know that the inner workings of a city are a true marvel to behold. In writing this, I have tried to capture that marvel and deliver it to you, the reader. This is a book about a city and the people within it. The rest is up for you to read, if you so choose. Pyre lives on whether you experience it or not. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A science-fiction novel, updated whenever there is new material to post. The last cover was AI generated, so I spent some time making a crude cover of my own. For the sake of Wattpad I have divided up the chapters into parts, so everything under "The Glow" is Chapter 1 and so on. If you have read this far into the description, I thank you; you've made it further than mostly everyone before you. I hope you stick around. ⠀⠀

Sera by EvangelineJinx

After Earth's destruction, humanity's last hope found refuge on the planet Aurion, a utopia for the wealthy and a prison for the poor. Divided by a wall, the Opulents live in luxury, sustained by the relentless labor of the Destitutes. Life for the Destitutes is grueling, but Serafina refuses to accept her place in a world designed to oppress. Desperate for a glimpse into the forbidden lives of the Opulents, Sera builds an illegal VR headset to watch The Tournament, a high-stakes virtual reality competition reserved for the elite. But when her secret is discovered, her punishment is not what she expects. Instead, the enigmatic Kaira, an Opulent rebel, offers her a chance to join the Ang3ls, a team competing in the very tournament she risked everything to see. To survive, Sera must hide her identity and pass as one of the Opulents, navigating a web of intrigue and deception both inside and outside the virtual arena. But her journey is about more than survival. Armed with her skills, her courage, and her growing defiance, she becomes the Ang3ls' secret weapon-fighting not just for victory, but to send a message to the world. As the lines between reality and the virtual blur, Sera discovers that winning the tournament could spark a revolution-or endanger everything she holds dear. For on Aurion, the game isn't just entertainment. It's power. And Serafina is determined to use it to change the world.

Matriarchy: No Need For Men. by feminism2

Chapter 2: World War III (Running!!) Men are gone. Women rule. Imagine a world where men no longer matter-would you survive the matriarchy? What happens when feminism goes too far? This book explores the consequences of a future where the natural balance between men and women collapses. Feminism, having transcended all boundaries, reshapes humanity into a female-centered species. Men, stripped of purpose, exist as relics of the past, serving only as pets in a system that mirrors a hive, where women reign supreme. Biologically, mothers are the gatekeepers of life. Historically, survival forced men and women into partnership-men as protectors and providers, sometimes oppressors, while women adapted to survive under natural pressures. But when humanity masters nature, this necessity vanishes. With no war, famine, or struggle, cooperation dissolves. Robots and AI take over all labor, while science frees women from biological dependence on men, allowing reproduction through stem-cell technology. Men are no longer needed for survival, yet they are not entirely discarded, kept instead as sentimental pets. This is the final form of feminism: a system that abandons equality under the guise of progress, reducing men to a perpetual loop of servitude. Matriarchy: No Need for Men critiques a future where dominance replaces balance, and ideology supersedes the natural truths of human existence. It is a stark warning, not only for men but for all who value the delicate equilibrium that defines humanity.
