In the year 2055, Nova City pulses with neon light and relentless surveillance — a sprawling metropolis where tech giants reign and privacy is obsolete. Ray Blake, a reclusive former street racer turned precision getaway driver, lives by one rule: stay disconnected. But when he’s hired to extract a rogue hacker named Lia from a corporate black site, his rules shatter. Pursued by KORVEX’s AI enforcers and racing through a city controlled by machines, Ray and Lia uncover Project OVERRIDE — a plan to hijack the minds of the entire population through their neural implants. As they form an uneasy alliance with the underground resistance, Ray must confront his own past and make the ultimate sacrifice to stop a future where choice is just a program. "NEON" is a pulse-pounding cyberpunk thriller about redemption, rebellion, and the price of freedom in a world that forgot what it means.
