Neon Eden

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice. The air in Eden hummed with a constant energy, a symphony of data streams and electronic pulses that vibrated against the skin. The city, a sprawling labyrinth of neon-soaked towers and sleek chrome structures, pulsed with a vibrant, artificial life. It was a utopia of sorts, built on the promise of technological advancement, where cybernetic enhancements were the norm and human limitations seemed a distant memory. Yet, for those who chose to resist the allure of modification, for those who clung to the organic, the human, Eden presented a starkly different reality. The Naturals, as they were known, lived on the fringes of this technologically advanced world, their existence a constant reminder of the gap that separated them from the Technos. They were the forgotten ones, the dissenters, the reminders of what was lost in the pursuit of progress. Detective Sam Wolfe was a Natural in a world increasingly hostile to his kind. He was a man who had seen the darkness that lurked beneath the city's shiny exterior, the secrets that the Techno elite desperately tried to conceal. He had chosen to fight for justice, to protect the innocent, even when it meant navigating a world that often shunned him. When a string of bizarre murders began to target the city's elite Technos, Sam found himself thrust into a chilling investigation that would lead him down a rabbit hole of secrets, conspiracies, and the unsettling truth behind the alluring "Euphoria" implants. These devices, promising eternal bliss, carried a terrifying side effect—lethal brain overload.
