Your identity is who you are. Your experiences, your thoughts, your emotions, your skills and abilities - they are what make you truly unique. There is no one like you in the whole universe, and as such, you cannot be replaced. But what if you could? Harrier Blastov's greatest fear is to become irrelevant, to be forgotten. When you live in the scummiest slums of the second-largest megalopolis in the nation, that's usually what happens. You live, you struggle to survive, you die young, and the next generation repeats itself. In Crevan's undercity, it's no different. As one of the youngest thieves with a semi-professional rep in the Dark Zone, Harrier takes on jobs to stay on top of the competition and to keep friends fed and clothed. But a growing malevolent undercurrent is permeating the Dark Zone, and no one seems eager to stop it. Strange creatures are sighted in the deepest, darkest parts of the city and people start disappearing. Harrier writes it off as your average criminal goings-on... at least until a friend goes missing, leaving behind too much blood to be an accident. Recklessly, Harrier begins poking, prodding, and ultimately becomes neck-deep in a plot that runs far deeper than it first appears...

After war devastated the United States, a survivor buried himself deep underground in a cryostasis chamber connected to a digital world- Wonder City. Dedicated to creating a perfect society, Thomas O'Neil transported his consciousness to the city and dedicated his life to creating a better world. But there's a major catch- everyone in the world is an exact clone of him without any emotions, passions, or original thoughts. Everyone is created through "The Code", a computer code designed to create people and assign jobs. For years it's worked flawlessly, filling Wonder City full of workers and civilians. The society was successful. Until one day when a glitch in the code created the first clone with emotions and thoughts- #937. Angry and determined to have free will, 937 sets out on a path to create a better world from the ashes of the old empire. What happens when the city of the future becomes a world that O'Neil can't contain? Welcome to Wonder City. Welcome to the future. **** Please keep in mind that this is a first draft. Many details, paragraphs, and chapters will inevitably change between this and the final version. There's still lots to be smoothed out. Thank you for understanding! I'm very open to suggestions! -Andrew Purdum
