In a near-future world where self-driving AI machines roam free, Rina, a quiet but determined girl, travels with KARR - a sentient car with a sharp tongue and a hidden sense of duty.
Together they encounter abandoned towns, forgotten AI begging for release, and dangerous outlaws who see KARR as the ultimate weapon. As Rina struggles to understand her own existence, she learns that survival isn't enough - she must choose what kind of person she wants to become.
Part road trip, part coming-of-age story, part cyberpunk drama - Night Rider: ReCode is a journey through dust, neon, and the question of what it means to be human.

In a futuristic India of the 23rd century, society is divided into three stark classes. The elite live in utopian cities ruled by AI perfection, the middle class rely on human-like robots for daily tasks, and the lower class-struggling in the shadows-scrape by with malfunctioning, outdated machines. Ryan, a young man from the slums, refuses to accept his fate.

But entry is impossible-unless he finds a way to break the code. Using stolen access credentials, Ryan successfully breaches the city's security grid. But before he can taste freedom, the AI detects the anomaly. Branded as a Glitch in the System, he becomes the most wanted fugitive, hunted by ruthless humanoid enforcers and self-learning AI.

Will he outmaneuver the machines and claim the future he desires, or will he be erased like a corrupted line of code?Complete
Akropolis
"Any thought you ever had; memories, desires, your fears and your dreams, are all recorded and stored safely in the Quantum Cloud for your eventual revival.

Time is no longer your enemy. Regret is a thing of the past. Each new day brings the promise of endless possibilities, spent in the pursuit of your own happiness, guiltless with the knowledge that there are no longer earthly constraints to inhibit you. This is the life you have always wanted. Welcome to your new beginning..." Akropolis is a city at the end of times, a sanctuary where the brightest and best have been housed since the last Great War. A genome defect has afflicted the majority of the population and scientists are desperate to find a cure.

The ruling council believes that salvation is nigh, but whether that hope arrives in time is questionable. The city's future depends upon the actions of a few individuals, all of whom are struggling with their own mortality. Quentin is the boy who dreams of death. Mia is the tortured soul. Trey is the soldier that defines duty. Misao is the future of the ruling council. Claire is the girl with a secret that will rock the foundations of their entire civilization.
