GRAND CITY BLUES - A Cyberpunk Journey Through Identity, Control, and RebellionIn the year 2178, Grand City is a towering, sprawling metropolis where every citizen is tracked, every thought predicted, every desire manipulated. In a world ruled by JD Industries-an all-powerful megacorporation dreaming of total control over human consciousness-an unsuspecting musician becomes the key to a revolution.Daniel "Dan" Kaine is a drummer who plays to escape, not to fight-until the system gives him no choice. When he meets Babi Lenner, a fugitive hacker and former JD analyst wanted for uncovering the unthinkable, everything changes.Alongside a mismatched band of allies-a philosopher-bassist, a nerdy keyboardist with a hacker's past, a disillusioned manager, and a cyborg repairman with a heart of steel-Dan is drawn into the heart of the EON Project: a neural network designed to erase free will.Between shadowy slums and decaying industrial labyrinths, where flesh merges with code and freedom is measured in bits, Grand City Blues unfolds as a gripping thriller. It blends the visionary aesthetics of Blade Runner, the philosophical depth of Ghost in the Shell, and the brutal disillusionment of Cyberpunk 2077.In a world made of data and silicon... the only resistance is remembering what it means to be human.Perfect for readers who crave: - Literary cyberpunk with immersive world-building- Technological conspiracies and ruthless megacorporations- Imperfect, fragile, and irrepressibly human protagonists- Deep reflections on identity, control, and memoryThe future is not a promise. It's a code. And it knows no mercy.
