Overview: It’s 2058. Six years ago, the Winter of Disconnect shattered Britain and stole Jas McDonnell’s childhood. She survived. Millions didn’t.
Now Jas manages survivor’s guilt with electromagnetic emotional correction, artificially induced reality, and good old chemical escape. She scrapes a living under the unblinking lenses of the storybirds, hoping to trigger their interest algorithms and stream a few moments of her life to poverty-voyeurs in the transhumanist playground of Grand London.
But when a truckload of illegal bio-fabricators arrives in her backwater town, life turns upside-down for Jas. The posthuman demigods in the capital are definitely watching now. And her real-time soap opera is about to become a horror movie.
Safe State is grimy post-cyberpunk for readers who love the deep immersion of William Gibson’s The Peripheral, the bleakly real tech extrapolations of Daniel Suarez’s Change Agent, and the dark British cynicism of Charles Stross’s classic Accelerando. In an age where we fear what our machines and AI will become, Safe State asks: shouldn’t we be more afraid of what we’ll become ourselves?
