  • Collection: A Rocket Malone Sci-Fi Noir another sci fi detective type story about a reclamation agent.

  • The Jack Stein Omnibus loved this series, a lot, detective mystery spanning worlds, I think originally 5 or 6 books collected here for 9 bucks, very worth it.

July was good.

I published two novels this month and they are totally unrelated.
First one (and my debut novel) is titled "Janitors of the Late Space Age" (207 pages). It is a science fiction novel inspired by a video game actually - the Space Engineers. In the end I kinda like how it panned out: a bit slow to start but hopefully it conveys that lonely feeling of traveling through space and roaming over uninhabited planets. So far the reviews are good!

Link: [Amazon kindle and paperback] (https://www.amazon.com/Janitors-Late-Space-Age-Engineers-ebook/dp/B072RJKXNX/)

The second novel - I am really excited about that one - is titled "Four Zero Four" (207 pages). It's a raw story. I've included snippets of real-world news (American elections influenced by hackers and memes, crowdfunded useless inventions and similar) and it fitted PERFECTLY with the cyberpunk theme. Four Zero Four is something that was only recently published, and I want to properly launch it in about two weeks - please feel free to grab it and review it by then.

So hyped, just released physical prints of the bundle of novellas that I was working on with my co-author. It was my first time writing a LitRPG and also the first ever time I actually published my work. Such a nerve-wracking process but also really fulfilling. I'm considering moving more into the science fiction dark fantasy genre for my next release but I haven't really worked out too much of the details yet. I'm just still all antsy and excited from actually having something out and published that I can hold, you know?

And best of luck to you and your writing! I'd love to hear back when it goes live :)

u/xenotron · 4 pointsr/Cyberpunk

I'm not gonna say these are the absolute best examples of cyberpunk literature, but if you want cyberpunk stories where spirituality is taken seriously, here are a couple I can recommend:

The Nexus trilogy by Ramez Naam involves a new drug which allows people to run programs in their brain. A bunch of Buddhist monks adopt the technology to improve their meditation and create a hive mind of sorts (spiritually though, not like the borg). I don't really know how to describe it any better, so here's a quote I shamelessly stole from an Amazon review:
> I practice Theravadan Buddhism; Nexus spends an awful lot of time looking at these radical notions of consciousness through a Buddhist lens. Not only is it a perfect fit, it's a well-informed one. Naan has done his homework, and then some.


Other than that, you could read the Archangel Protocol series by Lyda Morehouse. It's centered heavily around faith and Christianity in particular. In the series, the Archangel Gabriel appears in cyberspace. I only read the first book in the series since I personally wasn't looking for a spiritual cyberpunk book at the time but if you're looking for a cyberpunk story that deals with Christianity this may be the series for you.

Well, it depends on how hardcore you want the slice of life fully embedded in your story.

​

There is the Level Up series by Dan Sugralinov. A group of aliens has a convoluted reason why they need to give gamer powers to an ordinary Russian. He used the power to find a better job, get a few exercises in, find time to enjoy his hobbies, get better friends and better girl. In the end, there is a big contest to see if he should keep his powers or not so there is a semblance of goal in the story.

https://www.amazon.com/Re-Start-Level-UP-Book-1/dp/B07JXS4RNY

Then there is the game of life series by Terry Schott. As I understand the story, Earth is like the game world and players will go into this device and for a while, they will forget who they are because they will become babies, then they grow up into teens, then adulthood. They will get a job, marry, raised a family, then watched as their children grow up. Then they will grow old and finally die. At that time, they will return back to themselves and realized that they are playing a game. The viewers will then judge who among them have the most interesting life. hardcore slice of life!

https://www.amazon.com/Game-Life-Book-ebook/dp/B009U5TCKU

Oh Lukjanenko is one of my favorite authors!!! It's such a pity that not even 1/8 of his books have been translated into english :(

Max Frei is fun and weird and humorous.

Vita Nostra is my favorite book, period.

and omg i just found this i can't believe it's translated into english!! great read (sci fi)

and there's the Strugatsky brothers, sci-fi classics.

Chronicles of Siala is also a great fantasy series

My second Sand Divers book, Scavenger: A.I. released today, edited by the fantastic /u/TimMarquitz. Launch week price is $0.99, and I've made the Kindle version of the first book, Scavenger: Evolution, free!

I also have giveaways for both books on Goodreads (signed paperbacks, US only). Evolution | A.I.

Book Description for A.I.

Hundreds of years ago a nanotech virus nearly wiped out humanity. The kernel of that technology has been locked in a buried military and guarded from warlords and tyrants by a class of sentries. Divemaster Rushing Stenson and his wife Star thought their journey underground would lead to the discovery of the ancient city of Danvar. Instead, they resurrected a power perfect for the tyrant that put them there. He plans to use this self replicating technology to rebuild America and give life eternal to those loyal to his empire.

In Scavenger: A.I., Rush, Star and their crew of survivors see an opportunity to use this power to defend their new territory and rewrite the course of their lives and country in a way that would make their children proud. However, as they discover the oddities of this power, it may be too late to reverse the evolution they’ve seen within. And some aren’t interested even if they could. Even if what they’re becoming is too much like the tyrants they’re fighting.

As the nanotech and infusion of the power source they’ve uncovered changes Rush and Star, they are tempted with the chance of bringing their deceased newborn back to life. Will this child be the one they knew, and if not, how far into dangerous territory will they go to force what shouldn’t be?

Inspired by the world of Sand by Hugh Howey and written with his permission. This stand alone series takes the action of Mad Max: Fury Road and injects it into a hostile environment catered to fans of Alien.

The Man He Used to Be

My cyberpunk thriller set in Las Vegas. Just released today for $2.99 on Amazon. Description below. I'd love any feedback you have:

In the not-too-distant future, Las Vegas crumbles under the weight of its own elite. Corporations vie for control of the strip as wealth disparity runs rampant, forcing the less fortunate into the slums and sewers beneath the city. Raj is one such sewer dweller, but his fate is about to change. The success of the Nebula Corporation's most revolutionary -- and illegal -- new product hinges on the only thing of value Raj has ever owned: his brain.

Filled with political intrigue, strained relationships, and a city brimming with danger, The Man He Used to Be follows Raj as he fights a battle of attrition to preserve his identity and protect the poor souls that society has left behind.

Check it out

This is my first cyberpunk novel. I love the genre and had a great time writing this and "researching" the greats like William Gibson, Phillip K. Dick, and Neal Stephenson (read Diamond Age if you haven't!).

u/Thanael123 · 5 pointsr/Shadowrun

The 2e Aztlan sourcebook is the definitive source.

There was a Shadows of Latin America sourcebook planned for 3e but it fell through. There’s an unofficial version of it available though which is quite polished. Its linked from this wiki entry

Also for some inspiration/flavor read High Aztec by Ernest Hogan an old novel that might have inspired the original writers.

Last I heard Suriko is writing for two VN projects as well.

Hello, I'm J.P. Carver you probably don't know my name and if you search for it on Amazon you get HP Chargers instead... but I've written stories such as 'I fell in love with my best friend', and 'We don't do Halloween'.

I've got a novel out [here] (https://www.amazon.com/Seer-Dark-Shadows-Light-Book-ebook/dp/B017CCI2LC) - quick and dirty description: Supernatural meets Silent Hill. I also write cyberpunk and my novella is [here] (https://www.amazon.com/DataTrigger-Ragdoll-Sequence-Book-1-ebook/dp/B00TNS855M). No quick and dirty, just lots of cool tech.

I also appeared in this anthology with lots of other cooler nosleep authors, so I got that going for me.

I seem to be a little late to the game, but since my book's still new, I'll toss it out there anyway.

It's called The Arcology. Here's my summary:
> In the oppressive city of Kindred, circa 2052, Lance Canela tries a little too hard to fulfill the classic image of a private detective. Living in the shadow of the enormous Arcology and barely scraping by, he's happy to sit in his office all day, reliving the adventures of his hardboiled heroes from a century past. But when Fiona, the femme fatale he's always waited for, knocks on his door, Lance gets a taste of life-or-death reality as he faces off against ruthless goons for the first time.

>Shaken by the experience, Lance lays low until a new case thrusts him into the world of the super-rich high atop the Arcology, and that of the impoverished masses living at its base. In search of a missing girl with only the name “Ascended Employment” to go on, Lance must reconnect with Fiona and navigate the world of the wealthy to find her. Fiona, however, has problems of her own, and her past is more intertwined with Ascended than anyone could predict.

It is indeed on Amazon!

If you are okay with litRPGs, Awaken Online is pretty good. It fits the necromancer aspect fairly well.

If you like this idea, there is a great book called 'The Game' somewhere out there with a slightly similar construct.

The Crafting of Chess kind of fits from what I remember. There are plots about past situations, game company things, but most of what he MC does meets that description.

Spinward an artifical dreamstate novel also works. It takes place almost entirely in the game.

Read the Book: [The Game is life] (https://www.amazon.de/Game-Life-Book-English-ebook/dp/B009U5TCKU)

They explain it relatively well. It is quite interesting, especially how the main character wrote in his last playthrough a book about them living only in a simulation but only made a few copies. And in his next playthrough he finds that book and found upon it a religion that believes they are living inside of a game.
