Cyberempathy

Security, equality and unity,
freedom, justice and individuality

The global cybernet is the blessing of the future &ndash, it connects people's sensibilities. Cybernetics, genetics and holography ensure a long life full of health, strength and beauty. The world seems to have finally found peace.

Renowned memory designer Leon lives in the upper levels of the vertical city of Skyscrape and will soon be married to his great love Janica. But the fatal consequences of a dubious assignment become his undoing. He becomes a pawn in the hands of the powerful and his successful life is soon in tatters.

When he is finally deported to the lower levels of the city, he experiences a world full of violence and injustice. The human body is just a replaceable doll and the lack of connection to the cybernet there calls his entire existence as a human being into question. But in this cold place of all places, someone unexpectedly touches his being - more intensely than artificial empathy could ever have done.

Is the supposed blessing perhaps a curse after all or just the logical step of evolution?

Promising utopia, disturbing dystopia, credible science fiction &ndash, welcome to cyberpunk.
