Not only does she find her reputation in tatters, all of her old allies having abandoned her, and missing time but she's also lost her girlfriend to whoever was experimenting on her. The rude, irreverent, and crude heroine doesn't make it out of the laboratory without some serious damage. Riko is a Runner and professional thief who wakes up in a laboratory one day with months missing of her life. In a way, Necrotech is a throwback to the original cyberpunk novels of Case and Molly. Even so, I wrote my first cyberpunk novel with the cultured assassin of the super-rich rather than the penniless hacker on the ground. It took the War on Terror and the pear of 2020 to remind us the world was a scary place with violent chaos on one side along with the politicians as well as corporates willing to take advantage of it. Basically, the original cyberpunks grew up to become thirty something year old people who had to work for a living and were briefly deluded by the tech of Steve Jobs as well as the Clinton Administration into believing the world was getting better. I say this as a huge cyberpunk fan and someone who has often felt the genre has suffered since The Matrix.
NECROTECH is probably the most entertaining novel I read in 2020 and is the best way I can finish off this year.
