Electric Angel

by Plum Parrot

Electric Angel drops you into a fractured, high-tech wasteland where the line between flesh and code has eroded entirely. You follow a protagonist buried under layers of false identity, navigating a society that treats survival as a high-stakes game of deception. The atmosphere is suffocating and cold, mirroring the internal moral erosion of a world where secrets are the only currency that matters. It does not offer easy answers or clean heroes; instead, it forces you to sit with the discomfort of watching someone trade their humanity for a chance to endure another day. The pacing is relentless, designed to keep you off-balance as the digital and physical dangers bleed together. This is for readers who prefer their science fiction dark, introspective, and ethically murky, and who do not mind being left unsettled by the final page.
