night time/escape

 

(my eyes gleam looking in from the dark)

 

The city of Nea Pragmaton, year 2109.

A cyborg obeys orders and questions nothing.

A human trusts no one and questions everything.

One thing that they both long for is freedom.

But these are dark times, and with revolution comes consequences. In the end, who can you really trust?

 

(no, this is not a game)

 

"he is himself alone,

to answer all the city."

- william shakespeare, coriolanus

 

Foreword

Heavily influenced by:

Ridley Scott's Blade Runner (1982)

David Mitchell's Cloud Atlas (2004)

I've always loved future dystopia, so I thought I might give it a go. As always, comments are love, whether good or bad.

Constructive criticism is always welcome !

Chapter 2: Hello, this was such a well-written story. I do hope you continue as you've captured the cold, clinical setting of a dystopian world quite well. It reminds me of the poem "The Unknown Citizen" by W.H Auden. I have watched (not read) Cloud Atlas and my favourite segment is an Orison of Sonmi 451. Your story is faintly reminiscent of this, and I enjoyed it very much. :)

Chapter 3: Hello! New reader here :) I'm not a fan of sci-fi but I couldnt tear my eyes away! What a great story!
It also helps that my biases are your characters! Can't wait to see where this goes although it looks a bit bleak and I'm already steeling myself for a less than happy ending! I look forward to the next chapter!!

Chapter 3: Wow. Things are really heating up here! The world you've created here is really interesting, and I found it fascinating to read about the human's history with droids. Nea Pragmaton sounds like a very scary place to live in, if you're a human. I'm glad Sunggyu is on Hyoyeon's side now, but I hope he doesn't short circuit again at a bad moment! This chapter was excellent, and I'm looking forward to more!

Chapter 1: I came across this going through the dystopia tag, and I'm glad I found it! I love it already, I love the world you've created and I loved the first chapter! It gives just enough information to draw you in, and I'm genuinely interested in finding out more! I love all of Infinite, and Hyoyeon is my ultimate bias, so the characters are Ace IMO. Please update soon!
