ELECTRIC RONIN

A Dystopian Cyberpunk Technothriller

De: Steven L. Johnson

A lone ronin. A corporate daimyo. A ghost in the machine that will force them to kill each other… or save their city.

In the neon-drenched dystopia of Neo-Kyoto, where corporate spires pierce polluted skies, justice is a forgotten word. For Malique, a half-Black, half-Japanese ronin haunted by the ghosts of his past, there is only the code. Cybernetically-enhanced and fueled by a relentless quest for vengeance, he stalks the rain-slicked Undercity with a single target in his sights: Merrik Yoritomo.

Merrik is the scion of the ruthless megacorporation that destroyed Malique’s family, a corporate samurai who rules from a gilded cage. He is the embodiment of the cold, corporate feudalism that bleeds the city dry. A face-off is inevitable, a final clash of steel and honor that will leave one of them in the gutter.

But when a terrifying digital ghost—an apocalyptic AI born from Yoritomo's darkest secrets—awakens with a plan to ‘upload’ every consciousness into a fragmented hive-mind, their personal war becomes obsolete. With the city’s technology turning against its citizens and a digital apocalypse looming, these two bitter rivals are forced into a desperate, uneasy alliance.

Perfect for fans of Blade Runner, Cyberpunk 2077, and Altered Carbon, Electric Ronin is a high-octane cyberpunk technothriller that blends visceral, street-level action with a sprawling tech-noir mystery.

This Japanese-inspired sci-fi epic explores the very definition of humanity in a world where every cybernetic enhancement has a price and true honor is paid in blood.

If you love stories of corporate espionage, augmented reality crime, rogue AI, and warriors fighting for a city’s soul, you won’t be able to put this down.
