MARL

Rule Three of Cyberpunk: ‘Live on the Edge’

Marl—your ‘Road-Boy’—is looking for a way through. The discovery of a 'Bucky' sequestered in his room, presenting him an opportunity to—maybe exact is Will upon an unsuspecting World.

THAT PERFECT WORLD

Our setting is a Utilitopian London, where that promise of Modernity is to be seen spectacularly achieved: In the autonomous Automobiles that populate its streets, and the flying Harrier-taxis that monopolise its skies, and in the sentient TRNSCTNL.(a)lgrthms that lay hidden within its Internet-of-Thingys; their Synthetic counterparts integrated with exquisite Husk_bod(ie)s, procured at astronomical cost.

Shortlisted for the inaugural Mo Siewcharran Prize 2019, THAT PERFECT WORLD is more Pulp than literary. More neurotic than speculative. And most probably the best Cyberpunk novella-series-thingy ever.

That is, according to its author. And it should know. Shouldn’t it?
