Killadelphia

By Connor Pritchard and Conor Buckley

In the year 2020, a military blockade surrounds the city of Philadelphia. Its justice system has crumbled and its lawful citizens have fled, leaving criminals and drug addicts to run rampant. A brilliant hacker capitalizes on the anarchy by creating a media empire within the city walls. This is Killadelphia. A website where gangsters upload their violent exploits and compete against each other in a city-wide power ranking. Content generating criminals become Internet celebrities, amassing click-based fortunes and millions of fans. Amidst the chaos, one of the city's gang leaders is kidnapped. Cheo has lived on both sides of the law and his list of enemies is endless. He is drugged and detained in an undisclosed location. Just as Cheo becomes desperate for answers, a mysterious hologram appears in the form of the 16th century philosopher, Niccolo di Bernardo dei Machiavelli. Machiavelli challenges Cheo to uncover the identities of his captors, confront the crimes of his own past and fight for a final chance at redemption. Killadelphia is a dystopian crime novel based on a five hundred year old political treatise that explores the true nature of power and timeless strategies of deception.
