Chromed

It's 2150AD. Uplinks don't just connect us. They control us.

Mason Floyd is lost on a dying world, his bionics failing, his battle against the ruling elite burning out. Back on Earth, off-grid rockstar Sadie Freeman is on a hopeless mission to resurrect the dead.

But the world hasn't waited for them. HumanE has declared all-out war-and they don't need armies when they can turn all of humanity into one. Through the uplink, they can reprogram minds, creating a limitless number of perfect, obedient soldiers.

To stop them, Mason must discard the corporate protection that's kept him alive, leaving him vulnerable and hunted. Sadie must embrace the system she's fought against her whole life, selling her soul for the only chance at victory. As the streets of Seattle erupt in violence, they're fighting an unwinnable crusade: they must save us from ourselves.

If they fail, the corps won't just win. Humanity will be overwritten.
