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.

In 2030, a young scientist named Robyn Sheridan was flying high, until her world and everyone else’s suddenly came crashing down. Within moments, a cataclysmic cyberattack shattered the world’s information systems, bringing civilization to the edge of collapse.

But a mysterious cabal rose from the rubble to restore order using a unique form of AI, ushering in a new era of automation, surveillance, and conformity.

But when Robyn, an art hacktivist named Darius, and a nascent AGI, independently unearth different parts of their world’s dark secret, they soon find themselves in a race to uncover the rest before it’s too late. As they chase digital ghosts in an effort to shine light on the deception, their paths will converge, either to unravel the illusion that controls their society…or doom it forever.
