Publisher Description
The year is 2090.
Earth is a dystopian nightmare filled with lonely people seeking connection in virtual worlds while corporate conglomerates profit from war and secretly run every country's government.
So, nothing's changed.
Except there are more robots! Like the one the slovenly Null Lasker (he's your hero, unfortunately) controls from the comfort of his living room in order to fight for SKIRM® in a distant warzone. Think of SKIRM® as like Uber for war, except there are less benefits and the pay is somehow worse.
Everything goes well until Null pushes the system too far and finds himself in a world of trouble — and on the run from his employer.
Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, the George Orwell estate, Olive Garden... these are just a few of the potential plaintiffs in lawsuits that could come from this book. Oh, and Uber now.
One last thing: 10% of all book sales go to shatterproof.org — forever. For all time. Contributing to a charity was a huge part of this project and it goes towards a cause we're very passionate about.
Enjoy.

Supporting A. K.
Showing some support for Adam. I wanted to read a new book for the new year. I’m on YouTube and see Adam has a upload. Going to start reading this on New Years Day!
I finished this book on January 26, 2022 (read 1 chapter a day). I really enjoyed reading this. It made me think of Advanced Warfare and Warzone. There were times where I was on the edge. There’s a lot of good twists in this book. Overall, it’s a good read. I love the personal messages at the end.
Breathtaking
Could make a great movie
