> Set in 2030 Barcelona, it follows Andrés "PingStarved" Reyes, a 56-year-old hacker who must choose between protecting his estranged son and surrendering a revolutionary mesh networking protocol that could liberate global communications from corporate control.

> What makes this different from typical cyberpunk:
> * Features real mesh networking protocols (Meshtastic, Reticulum) 
> * Based on actual security research and exploitation techniques
> * Grounded in technologies currently in development
> * Authentic hacker culture representation - written by someone who lives it
> 
> This has been a labor of love, combining my passion for privacy tech and resistance against surveillance capitalism into a narrative that I hope resonates with our community. As someone who's been hacking for years but never written fiction before, I poured everything I know and believe about our culture into these pages.

> If you enjoyed Neuromancer, Little Brother, or Mr. Robot, this explores similar themes of surveillance capitalism, digital liberty, and technological resistance - but grounded in the real tech we're building today.
