After a brutal conflict known as the Great Secession, powerful corporations established their own capitalist city-states along the Pacific Coast of America. Nekonikon is one such state, formed collaboratively by three influential companies—Krelborn, Longyu, and Cogswell-Smythe. This well-known city promises to be a bastion of hope and democracy but underneath the surface is an underbelly of corruption and oppression. Juan Fausto, a citizen of Nekonikon City, is a young guard-in-training. He has been taught to use all necessary tactics to safeguard his people and the Nekonikon way of life. His moral code is tested the closer he gets to graduation. Juan slowly realizes that Nekonikon City isn't the utopia it claims to be. Through the guidance of a punk band, his eyes are opened to shocking realities. Pick up Nekonikon Punk by S. D. Miller and follow Juan's exciting journey.

This compelling novel is an action-packed, cyberpunk, dystopian tale that will capture your attention immediately. Its conceptual design and internal culture are fascinating and profound. Readers will become immersed in a storyline driven by AI dependency and a political system spearheaded by unethical multicorporations. The novel explores themes like privilege, power, social injustice, control of the people, greed, corruption, heists, hacking, self-identity, and redemption. I'm impressed by S. D. Miller's use and portrayal of futuristic technology throughout the storyline. Nekonikon's techno-driven culture adds intrigue and excitement to a world full of endless possibilities. The aspect that stands out to me the most is Juan's character development. He is on a path to self-discovery and must eventually choose where his loyalty lies. Will he protect the life he once fought to maintain, or will he join a rebellion determined to overthrow the immoral forces governing his city? I wholeheartedly recommend S. D. Miller's Nekonikon Punk to fans of dystopian sci-fi novels.

In Nekonikon Punk: Ctrl Break, a dystopian sci-fi novel by S.D.

However, Juan's kind nature gets him into trouble, and he soon finds himself under the mentorship of Mr. Wagner, who wants to groom him to work for Kelborn Intelligence. Meanwhile, Juan's girlfriend, Greta, introduces him to a popular punk rock band.

If futuristic cyberpunk thrillers are your flavor, Nekonikon Punk: Ctrl Break will be right up your alley. Action-packed and layered with suspense, mystery, and intrigue, this book takes readers on a dystopian sci-fi odyssey that shows some alarming parallels to the world we live in today. S.D. Miller specifically highlights the impact of authoritarianism, corporate greed, and increasing control of the general populace under totalitarian regimes through a gripping narrative that refuses to relinquish its hold on the reader until the end. The story demonstrates how corporations and governments seek ultimate control over people's lives through new-age technology, and these themes seem even more relevant with the recent developments in AI. Additionally, the characters are compelling, and the plot has its share of twists and turns to keep you hooked all the way through. Highly recommended!
