Cogs in a Neon Globe: A Cyberpunk Noir Collection

Dive into the strobe-lit shadows of the Neon Globe, a retro-futuristic dystopia inspired by 1970s/80s/90s New Wave science fiction that captures Generation X’s defiant spirit. This collection of five gritty, low-life/retro-tech science fiction tales unravels the lives of outcasts trapped in a domed city’s cage, clawing against the iron grip of a faceless syndicate.

From fleeting rebellions to sprawling showdowns, outcasts defy their roles as cogs. Cal, wired on uppers, sketches the Globe’s darkest secrets, profiling its freaks. Dolly, a cybernetic courtesan defying her syndicate captors, hunts a red-gloved killer stalking Love Dolls through the Globe’s seedy underbelly, unraveling a blood-soaked giallo conspiracy. Freddy, a burned-out assassin, battles robots and his own doom in a syndicate showdown. These avant-garde, neo-noir stories weave a pulse-pounding tapestry of betrayal, defiance, and existential dread, where freedom fades but some dare to dream of escape.
