Mindstock - Paperback

by Richard Yonck (Author)

Fans of Neuromancer, Black Mirror and Philip K. Dick, meet your next reality. Psychologically complex, strikingly prophetic, and sweeping in its implications, Mindstock is a gripping sci-fi technothriller for our times.

Whom can you trust when all the world is a lie?

Decades after a cataclysmic cyberattack wiped out humanity's digital memory, civilization survives only because a shadowy elite known as the Consortia rose from the ruins to reconstruct the world's lost knowledge. They gave society a seductive new form of AI, promising order, safety, and ease. But at what cost?

For Robyn Sheridan, once a rising scientist whose career and reputation were destroyed in the chaos, the world never made sense again. Now a relentless truth investigator, she still feels the sting of the secrets that shattered her life.

For Darius Tourner, an art hacktivist whose creations challenge the official narrative, every act of rebellion is personal-his way of fighting back against a world that erased someone he loved.

Neither knows the other exists.

Nor that an emergent AGI is beginning to ask unanswered questions.

None of them realizes they're each uncovering fragments of a dreadful reality.

Mindstock is a character-driven techno-thriller about identity, power, and the cost of knowing the truth. Once you start reading, you won't escape until the final revelation.
