Neural Wraith

Neural Wraith, Book 1

De: K.D. Robertson

Narrado por: Stephanie Savannah

In Neo Babylon, your neural implant is your identity.

You use it as your credit card, to surf the Altnet, to chat with friends, to login to work or school, and to be pestered by advertisements. Anyone without one is cut off from society.

Nick can’t get a neural implant. That fact turns his daily life into hell, but the city's underworld has its plans for him. Being invisible to the city’s omnipresent tracking has its perks. Without a neural presence, he’s someone who is felt but not seen—a wraith.

His natural advantage leads him to work on illegal projects, including one to create human-like AI “dolls.” Until the government shuts down everything and Nick is reduced to a life of back-office IT drudgery, under strict monitoring.

But the city isn't done with him, and the police soon knock on his door. Those advanced dolls he created are now Babylon’s law enforcement. And they have an offer for Nick: help them reshape the city and root out corruption from the inside.

Who better to investigate the city than a man who cannot be seen by it?

A great world with a good story

Not all authors can craft a world and story that manages to maintain the suspension of disbelief through the whole thing. Roberson did with this book, and I can't wait for the second to come out in a few months.

The characters actually have depth, each scene has extra details that fill it out nicely without going overboard, and the world details build on each other very well. 100% recommend this.

For those concerned about it, there is only one true smut scene, so if you need to skip, you don't miss too much at all.

Pretty good

Good story, the mystery and cyberpunk setting was very interesting. I came into this blind and wasn't expecting the harem and smut but overall the book was pretty good. Great voice acting/narration too.

good need the next o.o

if you like cyber punk you'll like this
give it a shot because I need the next one

Wonderful

This is unlike any other sci Fi haremLit and it's amazing! As long as someone likes the police mystery/investigation part of the plot, this is an easy recommendation.

Mystery plot + movement

-Too many novels these days spend half their time explaining the mechanics of the world in a textbook-like fashion. The mechanics should ALWAYS be explained through the action. Think of Harry Potter and how you learn about the world while it is experienced.
-This book falls into the experience category, thank God. And on top of that, it has a wonderfully convoluted mystery plot woven into the fabric. It’s good to find yourself thinking about the plot in between listening sessions.
-There’s only one spicy scene, and it’s quite interesting.
-Almost All of the harem aspects are emotional, which is nice.
-The mc has a nice amount of humility.
-I would say this story fits into the “Cyberpunk” universe, but not nearly as gritty as William Gibson, or scary as Morgan’s Altered Carbon. It’s much more of a AI Romance story. Don’t get me wrong, there’s a ton of violence and action. And the author does a great job describing it.
