Welcome to the static.
In a future where corporations own the skyline, memories can be bought and sold, and human lives are measured in data, twelve stories unfold across the same fractured world.
The Neon Static is a collection of interconnected cyberpunk tales exploring the people caught beneath the glow of a society that never truly sleeps. Mercenaries, workers, fugitives, hackers, addicts, executives, and artificial minds each struggle to survive systems designed to consume them.
Some are searching for freedom.
Some are searching for the truth.
Others are simply trying to make it through another night.
But beneath the advertisements, surveillance feeds, augmented bodies, and endless electric haze, something larger is beginning to emerge-and every story is another signal buried inside the noise.
Featuring 12 interconnected dystopian short stories, each accompanied by an original hand-drawn-style opening illustration, The Neon Static blends gritty science fiction, technological paranoia, corporate dystopia, and human tragedy into a single shared vision of the future.
Perfect for readers who enjoy cyberpunk, dystopian science fiction, speculative short stories, artificial intelligence, megacorporations, transhumanism, and dark near-future worlds.
The city is always transmitting.
The question is whether anyone is still listening.
