Official Mindstock book trailer (sound on)

Fans of Neuromancer, Black Mirror and Philip K. Dick, meet your next reality.
Psychologically complex, strikingly prophetic, and sweeping in its implications, MINDSTOCK is a gripping techno-thriller for our times.

If most of the world’s knowledge was suddenly destroyed, could you survive?

In the aftermath of a catastrophic cyberattack that shattered the world’s information systems, civilization found itself on the edge of collapse. But from the rubble rose the Consortia, an enigmatic cabal that restored order, ushering in a new era of automation, surveillance, and distrust.

Now, decades later, society runs on a novel form of AI that is as enticing as it is controlling. In a world where nearly all jobs have been eliminated and truth is rewritten daily, few dare to question the all-powerful technoligarchy that rules over them.

But when Robyn, a truth investigator, and Darius, an art hacktivist, independently unearth different parts of the Consortia’s dark secret, each soon finds themself in a race to uncover the rest before it’s too late. As Robyn chases digital ghosts and Darius shines light on the deception, their paths will converge, either to unravel the illusion that controls their society…or doom it forever.
