Neon Gut: A Cyberpunk Noir Novel

By Gerald Victor Wheeler

Memory is currency. Truth is contraband. And someone is deleting witnesses.In the rust-choked underbelly of Zenith Station, Detective Darrell survives on cold cases and cheaper synth-whiskey. He's a relic in a city that trades memories like stock-until a senator washes up in the Neon Gut with his mind scrubbed clean. No trauma. No accident. A surgical wipe. Total erasure.

The brass call it a suicide attempt. Darrell knows better.

Paired with UNIT-7-a decommissioned android wrestling with ghosts in its own code-he follows the trail into black-market memory dens and corporate server-farms. But the conspiracy runs deeper than data theft. The victims aren't random. The erasures aren't random. And the intelligence behind them isn't artificial.
It's human. Or it was.

Now Darrell must choose: expose a truth that could collapse the station's fragile order, or let humanity trade its past for a comfortable lie.

NEON GUT is a razor-sharp cyberpunk noir about what we owe the dead, what we sell of ourselves to survive, and the fragile line between remembering and becoming.
