Tidelands

In a flooded city, the arcology provides a high-tech haven - for those who can afford it.
For those who can't, life outside is a struggle for survival against climate change and a society on the brink of collapse, as unregulated technology spawns genetic monsters, robotic nightmares and virtual ghosts.¿¿
Here, Squirrel is a memory thief, eking out a fraught existence in service to the criminal gangs that trade in illicit gene hacks, blackmarket augments and - her speciality - stolen secrets.
But with skills she didn't know she had, Squirrel steals a curious memory, threatening to expose a conspiracy that some would do anything to keep hidden.¿¿
And as her new-found talents attract those keen to utilise them for their own ends, her only chance at escape leads to the arcology itself, and the answers to a mystery no one wants her to learn.¿¿
Tidelands is an ongoing sci-fi and fantasy serial. Set some years in the future, it is a dystopian blend of cyberpunk, first contact, Lovecraftian horror and dark humour. Part 1: Ghosts & Monsters collects together instalments 1-17.
