A HOSTILE TAKEOVER
“A post cyberpunk novel about the rise of corporate gangs, untamed technology, rebellious AI’s, and dangerous slumlords.”
SYSTEM OVERVIEW
The Bluezone: Somewhere deep within this last bastion of democratic society, segregated from the chaotic slums and destitute refugee camps, lurks a technology that could either push civilization further into the abyss, or bring forth salvation.
In a time when governments have collapsed and the world is run by ruthless corporate thugs, James Tucker navigates a treacherous landscape. Surrounded by ‘zoids’ and ‘hypergoblins’—technological entities with sentient personalities that can assist or entirely disrupt daily life—he must confront a global infrastructure mesh teetering on the edge of a robocaust.
25 RULES FOR THE MODERN UBERMAN
By James Tucker. Extracted from the core manifesto.
“When seizing control of a public company your number one priority is to devastate current management. Compensate by keeping existing rules and company culture, but do exact a tribute for this.”
“Fortresses can be advantageous and disadvantageous. They are good because you’re in a castle. It’s a safe place to be. They are bad because you’re stuck there. If you’re a defender on the inside make sure you are not hated in there.”
“Be shrewd in seeking advice. Advice is only as good as the person who seeks it. It is one of the oldest currencies in human interaction.”
“Be adventurous! Always try to be impetuous rather than overcautious. Audacity wins respect. Respect wins loyalty. Loyalty equals power. Real Power.”
