The Pixelated World

A global cyber pandemic sends the human race into turmoil... Children are experimented on and their bio-enhancements are sold to consumers... Could the year 2070 get anymore messed up? The Pixelated World, is a world of brand new beginnings. Quadrillionaire couple Dusan and Melanie have helped create a cyber-utopia through the R.I Project, filling the world with affordable and innovative tech. But beneath the surface a much darker world lingers.... The R.I Project has divided society. There are the consumers: the ones who glorify it and believe it is their duty to purchase,consume and conform. Then there are the non-consumers: those who defy The RI Project's questionable ethics and pledge to never forget the pre-modern world. Squatting in the lower-level, treated as outcasts , they suffer as a result of the new consumer cities built to drain harmful gases into the underworld where the non-consumer 'scum' reside. Soyala is a Zero Point Cerebe - one of sciences most elite experiments who has been manipulated her entire life. She is forced to face hidden secrets from her past... was she born an experiment? Or did she belong to a family who loved her dearly? Scientists have been playing with her mind for two decades, uploading memories, infiltrating her body with bio-mechanics, but now, its time to turn the tables. When the 50 young experiments surface following an unexpected cyber catastrophe, society forgets about human rights and craves the hopes of becoming enhanced humans with super-strength, instantly healing bionic skin and mind-bending In-Body-Innovation. Soy realises the cyber pandemic is surrounded by mystery that points directly to her so-called 'mother'. Now she must decide whether to embark on a dangerous adventure where she discovers who she can really trust. A journey where the meaning of 'human' is slowly shifting. Or will she conform and sell her soul to the initiative? But Soy must decide quickly, or else her Bio-enhancements just might decide for her. .... Book 2 You thought the cyber pandemic was bad? Think again... Who said innovation shouldn’t breath? Who said innovation shouldn't be human? No one. The consumers of 2070 have learnt to crave the next big thing no matter what the cost. When people discover superheroes are no longer limited to virtual entertainment portals, the line between what it means to be human starts to blur. The Cerebe product line is undergoing a rebrand and all experiments have to rename themselves and go to designated homestays under the cover of an exchange student. Cerebe 0.1 makes an instant connection with the Rylands, well...all but one. Zak seems to live in his own little world. Refusing to purchase any R.I products, he is an anomaly in the clone-like society and resents pro-innovates. After Zak and Cerebe 0.1 are forced to play an intensely nerve-racking game of Dissonance in the PlayScape, however, they realise they have more in common then they first thought. In a world where the elite Cerebe is quickly loosing friends and gaining enemies, she is under threat of loosing her closest friend of all. She knows she cannot pull off The Grand Pitch and be broadcast to the world and still conceal her secret identity from Zak. But who will she choose – her manipulative 'mother' Winter , or innovation-hater Zak?
