Synopsis
Mega-corporations have bought the clothes off of our backs and world itself from under our feet, eliminating all religion and nationality. Yet we humans crave a god to serve, and in the absence of the old religions the corporations have filled that role for us.
It was once said that humans are made in the image of god, but the new gods aren't happy with the old image. They have developed new technologies to improve upon and replace human flesh, forcing us to shed our humanity to compete for employment. To compete for survival.
Yet, it is human nature to slay our gods.

This story follows Artemis, a young woman stepping into adulthood in a dystopian world where the only way to survive is to abandon your very humanity and become a cog in a corporate machine. Her journey will take her through many confronting and disturbing places and experiences as she tries to find what it means to live when you feel powerless before the tyranny of a society that has abandoned all forms of democracy and free expression. A world where faceless corporations stand like immortal gods over the people and every person's life can and is understood by how much profit you can produce.
