Neon Lieben

by Sapha Burnell

Overview

2085 The world recovers from War. A squeal of tires chases Dr. Dieter Karnak, as he creates artificial life under his corporate partner's begrudging nose. Dr. Robert Dunlevy doesn't buy into such spiritual nonsense. He builds god damned machines, the way their Conglom overlords want.

2155 AD-001 swims to the shore of Vancouver Island. Lieutenant Max Allard is tasked to drag AD-001 back, before the Mater Machine claims 'it' for her own.

AI meets genetic engineering, when the Idless, a collective of anti-label anarchists led by Dr. Karnak's intern Baiko, attempt to free Dr. Karnak's android Lieben from the Conglomerate. 70 years later, gene-spliced super soldier AD-001 sees humans for the first time. A spiral of origins chase Lieben's ghost in this sci-fi cyberpunk adventure...

'Come at your leisure. My love is free. My abundance is yours.'

About the Author

"Sapha is like a young Wolfgang Pauli, in every laboratory he went, there was a little explosion."I was born in Vancouver, BC in the 80's. Teethed on images of the Berlin Wall falling down. The product of Vancouver's multiculturalism, I steeped in divergent cultures, religious experiences and gender roles, until battling with traditional opinions became a daily war. On hiatus from the written word, I volunteered in Ghana, West Africa for a medical charity, and returned to Canada with an international perspective on gender, and storytelling. In 2014, my poetry collection Usurper Kings (Vræyda Literary) hit the shelves with a Bang. My novella Son of Abel debuted in MacroMicroCosm Literary & Art Journal, and was published unabridged in 2017. I live in BC with my spouse, and speak on gender roles, cyberpunk, martial arts, comparative mythology & religion, when the #hallowesfam isn't chatting it up on twitch while we stream more RPG's.

Editorial Reviews

"Sapha will rip your heart out, then give you chest compressions and chocolates.

What she manages to do is tiptoe you on that line of emotional, gut wrenching, scenes that can bring you to the brink of hysteria. And with a sentence from a character she offers that breath of humour that pulls you back from the brink.

Then dropkicks you over the ledge when you thought you were safe. An insane, diabolical, kickass rollercoaster."
