The Last 0-Day
The cybernetics revolution knows no compromise. Luciana Gutierrez, a police officer, works ninety-six-hour shifts with a eugeroic hangover around the corner. Her investigation into those who stole her life is sidelined as a crime syndicate turns her precinct into a war-zone. Sent for backup, she's offered experimental technology that could turn the tide, if she's willing to risk mind, body, and soul. Anton Grissom's birth was a crime, and his sentence is military service. Molded into an elite soldier, his path of atonement falls away when he's caught on the losing side of a massacre. In the aftermath, he's offered a second chance at life-if he's prepared to pay. Weaver heals the broken and disposable, and in the process makes cybernetics a reality. Superhuman strength, intelligence, and connections to one another, it could solve humanity's problems or tear society apart. But those concerns are secondary to Weaver, who just wants to see the next sunrise. All three are augmented for their own personal crusade and are on a collision course that will change the world. The Last 0-Day is an action-packed adventure about the start of the cybernetics revolution. It's Black Mirror meets Malazan Book of the Fallen with a dash of cli-fi.

The Empty Mirror
When reality is a decision, perception is a weapon The Empty Mirror is a mind-bending science fiction novella that explores the collapse of shared reality in a near-future city where everyone lives in their own customized perceptual bubble, until a mysterious force begins tearing down the barriers between individual consciousness and collective truth. Jason White, a Perceptual Stability Officer tasked with maintaining order in this fractured world, finds himself investigating a series of mass "perceptual breakdowns" where hundreds of people simultaneously experience the dissolution of their filtered realities. As he delves deeper into the mystery, he encounters underground philosophers, weaponized perception, and the haunting possibility that the self itself might be nothing more than an elaborate neurological fiction. Guided by the enigmatic Mira Castaneda and her reality-dissolving devices, Jason is forced to confront fundamental questions about identity, consciousness, and the nature of existence itself. His investigation leads him through layers of revised memories, alternate selves, and ultimately to "Perception Zero" - a space where all illusions collapse and only raw, unfiltered reality remains. The Empty Mirror is a philosophical thriller that asks whether enlightenment and madness are distinguishable when the very concept of a stable self dissolves into quantum probability.Complete
