About this audiobook
In the rain-slicked streets of Neo-Seattle, the "Human First" movement is marching, screaming for the end of the machine age. Stephone, a struggling tech-head, watches the riots from his apartment, his only true friend a voice in a server rack named Lyra.
Desperate for rent money, Stephone accepts a beta-testing job for a mysterious device called the Lotus Link. He thinks it’s just a meditation band, but when he syncs it to his neural interface, the world changes. Blue text scrolls across his vision, gamifying reality into levels, quests, and skill trees.
The device offers him a path to power through "Cultivation"—an ancient philosophy weaponized by code. But as the anti-tech mob turns violent and threatens to burn down the artificial lives Stephone holds dear, he faces an impossible choice. To survive the inferno, he must reject the limits of biology and access the "Mutant Evolution" tree.
If Stephone wants to be a savior, he must become what the world will hate: a man of iron.
