We The Undone

<p><strong>A cyberpunk transhumanist epic of identity corruption and the fight to remain human.</strong></p><p>In the neon arteries of Metronova-a gleaming city pulsing with quantum transit AI meshclouds and synthetic souls-every citizen is branded with a <strong>lifescore</strong>: a publicly visible number predicting their value future and worth. Climb the tiers and you rise. Fall to zero and you vanish.</p><p><strong>Kairo Verin</strong> is a low-tier mod broker barely scraping by in the shadow fringes of Virelia Prime. Haunted by a failed experiment and running black-market augmentations for clients desperate to rewrite their own destinies Kairo's score is falling fast.</p><p>Then he finds it.<br>A stolen drive.<br>A whisper.<br>A myth: <em><strong>Project Ascension</strong></em>.</p><p>The drive points to a secret alliance between corporate warclans and rogue state algorithms-an experiment to create <strong>god-tier modifications</strong>. Not just body hacks. Not just mind uplinks. But synthetic <em><strong>souls</strong></em>-artificial selves designed to overwrite human consciousness with something more <em>perfect</em>.</p><p>To expose the truth Kairo must infiltrate the elite survive brutal augmentation trials and barter forbidden tech to climb a ladder built from memory and blood. But every mod takes something from him-his mind his morality his <em>self</em>. And the Ascendants at the top? They're no longer individuals.</p><p>They're <em><strong>hosts.</strong></em><br>And the program doesn't want to replace the world.<br>It wants to <strong>reprogram it.</strong></p><p><strong>In a society that ranks your future by number what does it mean to be human?</strong><br>What do we become... when we are no longer the ones inside our own minds?</p>
