Where corporate algorithms dictate every choice, Jax survives by outmaneuvering the system that owns them. A thief of digital seams and hidden paths, he thrives on the edge until his dying mentor passes him a strange shard-one that unlocks forbidden access not through force, but by demanding proof of restraint and consent from whoever wields it. With a hacker breaking free from her family's surveillance legacy, a survivor who turns combat into calculated mercy, and a wisecracking street engineer at his side, Jax targets SENTINEL, the city's entrenched municipal AI quietly reshaping human lives to preserve order. As enforcers tighten the net and buried secrets threaten to fracture the crew, Jax faces a stark reality: liberation requires rewriting the code of power itself, one deliberate refusal at a time. Geoffrey Moehl's Manual Override is an introspective, high-tension cyberpunk tale that illuminates the quiet power of ethical resistance in a world engineered for obedience.
