Cyberside: Second Simulation

Cyberside: Second Simulation

WELCOME TO THE CYBERSIDE. The body is obsolete. Memory is currency. And reality can be rewritten. James Reynolds was one of the engineers who built the Cyberside—a vast digital refuge created after the collapse of the physical world. Now he lives off-grid as a Taciturn, a hired gun with no identity, no allegiance, and no past he’s willing to revisit. Sent to a dying frontier town to eliminate a dangerous digital predator, James expects a routine kill. What he finds is Matilda—a Scry who doesn’t behave like any he’s hunted before, and who knows far too much about the world he helped create. As systems fail and disappearances mount, James and Matilda are drawn into a deeper conspiracy—one that traces back to Fall Water Lake, the origin point of the Cyberside itself. Cyberside: Second Simulation is a sharp, character-driven cyberpunk thriller from two veteran narrative designers. For readers who remember their dreams in code. Praise for Cyberside: Second Simulation and previous works “Cyberside: Second Simulation reads like a fever dream filtered through a firewall—vivid, tense, and quietly devastating. An exceptional read” - Chris Riches, Daily Express “Savchenko and Jennings have built a world as layered and immersive as anything in cyberpunk fiction. Matilda is a standout creation—equal parts threat, mystery and heart.” — Will Barker, Assistant News Editor, The Sun “A hauntingly plausible digital dystopia. Cyberside grips from the first page and refuses to let go—part mystery, part memory puzzle, part posthuman Western.” — John Ward, Daily Star “A gripping speculative thriller that takes readers deep into the high-stakes world of game development and the dark secrets lurking beneath. A must-read for tech enthusiasts and sci-fi fans alike.” – Richard Moriarty, The Sun (Cyberside: Level Zero) “A masterclass in speculative fiction, blending insider knowledge of the gaming industry with profound insights into corporate ambition and technological evolution. Utterly unputdownable.” – Chris Riches, Daily Express (Cyberside: Level Zero)
