	Inside its massive domes, humanity's every need is met. Now, without the need to work, liesurely distraction is the driving force of society. The adrenaline rush of virtual reality games is its pinnacle and winners are set apart as their elite Level Ones.

	Fa1th, a hot-headed rookie, tries to climb to the top of this society on her own terms. A journey which is co-opted by a paranoid taxi driver seeking to uncover the dark secret beneath this utopia, known only among the Level Ones as 'Downgate'. 

	Will the grisly truth of the forgotten past destroy their future? Or will it set them free? In a world of games and illusions, none is more dangerous than freedom.All Rights Reserved

Humanity's Drive by Creide_

With artificial life ruling the Earth, small human rebellions seem to be the only hope for humanity's freedom, but can the world survive if humans are allowed to thrive?

✅ Softlocked by kittyangelabdl

When the Earth's population grows close to a trillion, there isn't space for all those people anymore. The only way humanity can continue is putting most of the people into a virtual world. Unfortunately, due to predatory pricing and hidden micropayments, keeping up with their subscription can be a problem for a lot of people. Bock is a mink, which is a problem because they're a closed species; and if he can't keep up with the monthly payments he might have to go offline. But maybe he can find a glitch in the system; a way to keep his body without paying out so much for it. What could possibly go wrong? TG/AR themes. This story was originally written for NaptimeDaytime's Crinkle Writing Contest on Furaffinity [https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/10816151/], but I'm not sure if it will be too long to enter by the time I reach the end.

Only now, after several decades of advancements did they place a virtual reality on the market, catering to the medical field before reaching out to the rest of the world. After being offered an incredible scholarship opportunity by Millennial Enterprises, Scott learns that he has to once again enter the world of virtual reality to qualify for this once in a lifetime deal. This is a story of young man who is seeking for fulfillment of the unknown in a world that is not his own.

The Electric Archipelago (WIP) by MicahZDar

This is the first draft of my new cyberpunk novel, The Electric Archipelago. In the future humanity is imprisoned by massive corporations. Computers are directly connected to their brains, creating a nightmarish state of absolute control, every action is monitored and harshly judged. Perhaps worst of all, the victim's perception of reality itself is controlled. A system of social credit hangs over everyone's heads. If you want to survive you will need to pick a company and stay loyal to that brand. But it goes beyond that, because each corporation has been infiltrated and taken over by forces that are interested in more than just profit. John is a Skinwalker, a free man, a man who is immune to these restrictions. He goes where he wants and does what he wants, moving from one augmented reality to the next, always looking for the next score.

Tide of Traitors by 10-III0

It's the near future, and an AI has been put in charge of society in order to eliminate inequality and bring about perfect justice. However, this has resulted in mass imprisonment as each and every person is made to pay for the collective imperfections of mankind. Except for those outside of the system. 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...

Reluctantly, Eric has to work with the embodiment of his misery, and while doing so, unearths a damning secret.
