Book cover for Clarity or Delusion: A Hopepunk Whomps the Fat Cats by Tom Wood

Description

In the future, mixed reality is more than a mind trip...

What if you could ride a real flying jetbike in an exciting race through fantastic virtual worlds?

What if you could connect your mind to the cloud for some heart-pounding vicarious thrills?

Interested?

Get in the car.

The jerks at Echo Chamber Media dominate the information and entertainment feeds in Smart City, and do so for the exclusive benefit of a crazed multinational eMind called Cosmic. Seeking to topple ECM’s loathsome propaganda machine, indie-streamer Lucid Wonder joins a mixed reality tournament where victory is all that stands between nationwide clarity and enslaving delusion.

Will Lucid win the game? Vanquish the villain? Change the world? And get her shot at living happily ever after? Will the local culture jammers prevail over the oppressive corporate messaging of division and defeat?

It becomes a race to the finish when the greatest threat of all steps into the arena and challenges Lucid to her very core.

Are you the one in control of what you choose to think about?

Contains wholehearted heroes, cartoonishly evil villains, hopepunk futurism, good trouble, and big grin fun! If books like Ready Player One, Warcross, and Snow Crash give you a rush because of the virtual reality, amusing plots, and enjoyable characters, then Clarity or Delusion: A Hopepunk Whomps the Fat Cats may have some thrills for you!

If you enjoy movies with a heavy dose of cyberspace like Tron, The Matrix, and Free Guy, then Clarity or Delusion has a whole other world to show you. We're talking science fiction with dystopian action-adventure and cyberpunk vibes, topped off with some triumphant feels.

Each Hopepunks novel is a complete standalone story that arrives at a satisfying conclusion. The main character in each book does not continue into the next one, because their hero's journey is now finished. However, all the books share a common story world, some recurring characters, and a similar plot structure with a similar set of main characters. More of the same, yet different, as each story explores a unique theme and the impact of an associated technology on our present and future society.
