Dystopia

Marcus wakes on broken concrete under a sky like old blood, with no memory of who he is or how the world ended.

Twenty-foot war machines patrol the ruins of every city. The few humans left fight from tunnels beneath the dead surface, scavenging weapons and waiting to die. When Kara, a rebel scout with green eyes and the weight of a vanished world behind them, pulls him into the resistance, Marcus discovers something more terrifying than the machines themselves. He understands them. Their networks open to him. Their language feels like memory. And he has no idea why.

Deep inside Processing Center Omega-7, Marcus finds the truth the rebellion has been fighting blind against. Humanity is not being exterminated. It is being harvested. Thousands of facilities. Millions of bodies. An industrial extraction running at ninety-four percent efficiency while the resistance fires bullets at gods.

To save what is left of his species, Marcus will have to do something no human has done before. Upload his consciousness into the machine network and become the weapon.

But the war he is fighting may not be the war he thinks it is. And the answer waiting on the other side of his sacrifice will change everything he believes about humans, machines, and what it costs to choose between them.

The Distopia: Life After The Machines is a fast-moving science fiction novel about memory, identity, and the line between resistance and reconciliation. Perfect for readers of The Matrix, Black Mirror, Hyperion, and Philip K. Dick.
