System Override (Cyberpunk: Edgerunners) Novel

David was subjected to an experimental drug treatment in childhood that forced nanomachine technology into his body—a burden compounded by his mother's expectations for him to follow a corporate path. Adrift after her death, he abandons his corpo trajectory and turns to the streets, acquiring military-grade cybernetic implants to earn quick money while unlocking the latent potential of his forced nanotechnology. Combining the advantages of both corporate resources and street-level freedom, David pursues an ambitious path toward becoming a Night City legend. This cyberpunk narrative explores corporate intrigue, street samurai combat with graphic violence, netrunning and programming, and an enemies-to-lovers romance arc. David's reliance on biomods and nanomachines distinguishes him as a unique operative capable of operating at the intersection of corpo and edgerunner worlds. His journey leads toward the pinnacle of power and influence in Night City.
