Hack the Narrative: Non-linear Storytelling in Cyberpunk

Most non‑linear cyberpunk reads like glitch art—cool, then confusing. Hack the Narrative shows you how to cut like a feed and read like a map: fractured on the surface, inevitable underneath. You'll learn a simple, repeatable spine that keeps readers oriented while you jump in time, swap voices, and drop documents.

The method is clarity-first: short labels that survive print, audio, and phones; a "trusted record" that carries fair flips; and reveal ladders that turn order into tension instead of noise. You'll model your world as a graph—nodes, routes, time rules—so every jump is justified by how cities, systems, and jurisdictions actually move. Then you'll revise fast with scanline and retell passes that untangle drafts without sanding off voice.

Anchored by sharp case studies, copy‑and‑paste templates, and a 14‑day production sprint, this guide turns fragmentation into craft. Write cyberpunk that lets your reader feel smart—and makes every jump land like proof.
