New Manhattan isn’t for everyone. In fact, it’s pretty much only for those powerful, wealthy, or lethal enough to survive in its rarefied air. Megacorporations and a few elites make the rules. Everyone else just dies by them. Tony used to be one of the hidden elite. A high-tech enhanced operative working behind the scenes, in the shadows, under the table. That is, until his handlers decided to terminate his contract, strip his hardware, and dump him in the Blast. The end of the line. A place where the airborne Dust mutates your DNA before the locals can do worse. But Tony wasn’t just his cyberware. He still has his instincts and one hell of a desire to get even with the bastards who tore his life apart. His only real ally? Addie, a sharp, determined indie reporter with her own vendetta against the system. She’s not just chasing a story; she’s chasing justice—and willing to risk everything for it. Together, Tony and Addie must dive deep into the grime and chaos of the Blast, their uneasy partnership tested by danger, betrayal, and an undeniable spark neither of them is ready to name. With nerve, grit, and growing trust, they’ll bring the fight to the street . . . and make sure this city remembers who they are.

It is 2084 in the United Republic of North America and the country is on the verge of violent collapse. Many people are cyborgs, and some have implants. Many bombings, digital attacks, and riots have been happening for the past ten years... with the greatest intensity over the past two.

Year 2049. In a dystopian Argentina where neoliberalism has shaped a broken society, Detective Delia Mazurek must solve the murder of a famous android singer while dealing with her 35-week-old pregnancy and with her robot partner, the hateful Donnie O, who embodies the prejudices and artificiality of her time.

Tanta and Cole may have stopped the mass murder of InTech's residents, but the cost was severe. Despite their efforts, Harlow 2.0 - the update to InTech's mind-based operating system - fed out. Now its citizens are compliant zombies, and Tanta and her crew are trapped underground. All except for Fliss, who has no system to update. She alone can go outside, and it's Fliss the crew are relying on to help get them out. For only then can they dismantle the damage Harlow 2.0 has done. If Tanta, Cole and InTech's residents are to truly be free, it needs to be destroyed. But Tanta knows that task will put her on a collision course with the corporation that raised her, her oldest friends, and the woman who was once her soulmate. And this last mission might ask more of her than she's able to give.

Tanta is tasked with getting to the bottom of the attack before violence and unrest overtake the city. But even though the evidence points towards rival corporation Thoughtfront, Tanta can't shake the feeling that she's missing something. There's a dark secret at the heart of the case, one that will reveal more about her own corporation than Tanta would like. And the closer Tanta gets to the mystery, the more she comes to realise something terrible: Sometimes facing the truth can be the hardest thing of all.

However, everything is not quite such, not even as it is seen, sliding the eye superficially. Where does everything go, what kind of relentless power threatens humanity with two worlds?

John Wick meets Blade Runner in this fast-paced cyberpunk thriller by the #1 NYT bestselling author of The Will of the Many. My job, when you think about it, isn’t so different from a lot of people’s. I have to deal with a ton of boring planning. Inconvenient hours. Some pretty awkward face-to-face interactions. And like most of us, I’m really only clocking in to try and crawl out from beneath my debts. The more old-fashioned crowd do still get hung up on the ‘killing people’ part, I guess, but that’s a them problem: it’s been perfectly legal to take out lifers for ages. Besides, once ultrawealthy morons realised they had a way to live forever—limited resources be damned—there was only ever going to be one genuinely practical deterrent. So someone’s got to do it. And luckily, my genetic compatibilities make me really, really good at it. Still. This next job… I don’t know. It’s something I haven’t had to deal with in years. Kind of the opposite of my regular duties. Strange, that it got thrown my way. I’m sure it’ll all go totally fine though.

In a new Little Brother story from Cory Doctorow, when schools make war on their own students, something has to give...

In a new Little Brother novella, there is no security in obscurity. But there can be redemption in mutual aid.

Most days, Masha Maximow was sure she'd chosen the winning side. In her day job as a counterterrorism wizard for an transnational cybersecurity firm, she made the hacks that allowed repressive regimes to spy on dissidents, and manipulate their every move. The perks were fantastic, and the pay was obscene. Just for fun, and to piss off her masters, Masha sometimes used her mad skills to help those same troublemakers evade detection, if their cause was just. It was a dangerous game and a hell of a rush. But seriously self-destructive. And unsustainable. When her targets were strangers in faraway police states, it was easy to compartmentalize, to ignore the collateral damage of murder, rape, and torture. But when it hits close to home, and the hacks and exploits she’s devised are directed at her friends and family--including boy wonder Marcus Yallow, her old crush and archrival, and his entourage of naïve idealists--Masha realizes she has to choose. And whatever choice she makes, someone is going to get hurt.

Short story set in the Little Brother series. Published as part of the Attack Surface Kickstarter project.

But the powers-that-be haven’t entirely reckoned with the power of a gripping movie to change people’s minds...
