Neon Dust [Progression Cyberpunk] Novel

In the dystopian sprawl of 22nd-century New York, former corporate operative Tony finds himself cast out and stranded in the Blast—a gang-ruled slum in New Brooklyn where survival demands cunning and compromise. Stripped of his former life, he navigates streets governed by Dust-powered violence, forging uneasy bonds with the marginalized people he once dismissed. As he adapts to this brutal reality, Tony discovers unexpected resilience within himself and begins to feel something beyond his thirst for vengeance. Meanwhile, Addie, a tenacious investigative journalist, pursues the truth behind the district's systematic corruption and the devastating impact on its residents. Her investigation leads her into dangerous territory and an encounter with Dust that transforms her quest for justice into a dark odyssey of personal revelation. Two outcasts with nothing in common, Tony and Addie form a fragile alliance in a world where trust is scarce. Together, they may possess the strength to confront the powers oppressing the Blast—and perhaps discover redemption amid the wreckage.
