The Cloud

Description

In twenty-second century L.A., dominated by The Cloud, every imaginable pleasure is accessible—yet the entire world can vanish in a single upload.

That choice rests in one man’s hands.

Blaise, a brilliant but tormented VR programmer, is trying to forget his violent past as a special forces commando by immersing himself in creating VR fantasies. His megalomaniac boss tempts him with wealth, power, and eternal life in exchange for coding a new VR series that will addict and eliminate billions of “unproductives.”

Caught between joining those who want to bring down the ruling Cloud regime in Hong Kong or accepting the offer of personal immortality, Blaise is flanked by two relentless women—a psychic hacker risking everything to save humanity, and another using her extraordinary wiles to ensure The Cloud’s final triumph. Ultimately, Blaise must reembrace his warrior nature in a desperate bid to destroy it.
