Welcome to London - a city of cyborgs, wizard-class hackers, corporate security, graffiti artists, squatters, sirens, cyberspace lovers, gamers, dissidents, genetic freaks, secret oligarchs and AI. The megacity's newest additions are its most monumental: six mile-high, technologically advanced skyscrapers are on the rise, with implications no one expects. In this brave new London, boy genius Faraji must run from corporate security after his father and friends are murdered in the slums outside the city proper. Tagger and expatriate Blake is seeking a way to soften the heart of the metropolis, when he is taken in by police. Rosie, a young retail saleswoman, meets a bizarrely augmented cyborg along a canal in Reading. A story that will have you questioning what is real and what is fantasy, A New London Rising tells of escape, bravery, and the battle for righteousness in an apathetic and corrupt city.
