Biopunk Coming of Age Thriller

Dive into a pulse-pounding biopunk dystopia where your own body can betray you.

In a future governed by the monolithic VitaeGen corporation, where genetic perfection is the ultimate commodity and social currency, sixteen-year-old Adam’s world shatters on his birthday. His 'Clarity' mod—a supposed cognitive enhancement—begins to violently cross-react with a secret, illegal chimerism sequence his parents desperately had spliced into his DNA.

What begins as a subtle itch quickly escalates into grotesque, uncontrollable mutations: bioluminescent skin, elongating limbs, and sensory overloads that turn his ordered life into a living nightmare. Branded an "Aberration" and hunted by VitaeGen’s ruthless corporate Enforcers, Adam is forced to flee into the squalid, dangerous underbelly of Aethelburg, the Flesh-Markets. Here, among the cast-offs and genetically 'flawed,' he encounters a grizzled bio-hacker and a fierce, independent leader who challenge everything he thought he knew about identity and survival.

As his body warps, Adam must confront the horrifying truth about VitaeGen's planned obsolescence of human genetics and learn to wield his monstrous transformations as his greatest weapon.

Can one boy, whose very existence is an act of rebellion, forge a new identity and fight for bodily autonomy in a world where humanity itself is a product to be bought, sold, and discarded?
