Aubrey and the Archive | Dystopian Science Fiction Noir | Book
Years in the making. I have finally finished this beast. I can think of no better people than the Reddit crowd to unleash my dystopian Magus Opus on. Link at the end of this text. If you like it, please support me and buy the book.
Overview:
In an adjacent timeline, citizenship has become a subscription service.
The air carries synthesized aroma enhancers. Debt is a criminal condition. Beyond the Safe Zones, entire cities decay beneath heat, violence, and engineered neglect while the compliant drift through curated illusions of normal life.
Dr. Edwin Frank has spent years surviving comfortably inside the system, protected by wealth, routine, and denial. Then a woman named Aubrey appears at his door.
Fresh from an escape from a debt prison, Aubrey remembers a world before collapse became ordinary. Colliding together, they navigate abandoned infrastructure, predatory surveillance, Computer Dogs, and increasingly nightmarish technologies designed to keep civilization obedient long after it stopped being humane.
AUBREY AND THE ARCHIVE is a bleak, atmospheric dystopian thriller about solvency, memory, and what remains of human identity at the end of civilization. Perfect for readers of Neuromancer, Children of Men, and The Road.
It will also be in a Kindle sale for a few days.
Have at it. Looking forward to comments and reviews. Thanks!
