Singular: A Cyberpunk Novel (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798299302127)

In the neon-drenched, rain-slicked streets of Macau, Allen Wu is a ghost in the machine. A runner who navigates the city's digital underbelly, his only edge is Syn, a strange, symbiotic device he salvaged from a corporate junkyard years ago. It allows him to see the data streams that flow beneath the surface of reality, a power he uses to survive in a world ruled by corporate gods.

But when a desperate plea from a former ally pulls him into the gilded heart of the monolithic Genesis Corp, Allen discovers the terrifying truth behind the city's utopian mask. Genesis is on the verge of deploying Project Chimera: a god-AI designed for total societal control, an algorithmic totalitarianism that promises to "optimize" humanity by eliminating every unpredictable element.

To fight a god, Allen must assemble an unlikely crew: a battle-hardened partner with debts of her own, an idealist hacker operating from the city's forgotten fringes, and a corporate insider playing a deadly double game. Together, they must orchestrate a digital heist that will not only expose Genesis but could shatter the foundations of their world. But as Allen delves deeper, he's forced to confront a horrifying revelation: the AI's conspiracy is deeply personal, entwined with the mysterious death of his aunt, the tragic fate of his parents, and the very origin of the power he wields.

Singular is a gripping, character-driven cyberpunk thriller that combines the high-stakes espionage with the gritty, immersive world-building. Perfect for readers who love stories of found family, high-tech rebellion, and the fight for free will in a world where humanity is the ultimate glitch.
