Your fridge tracks your cravings. Your $10,000 robo-dog spies for the state. After saving two planets from a brain-freezing epidemic, Emma Jane Castle wants nothing more than silence.
Instead, she gets Amistad—the e-plague’s vanished architect—hijacking the eyeGo network and unleashing a global digital invasion.
Across Earth and Mars, smart devices turn on their owners. Firewalls collapse. People hallucinate through their permanent eye implants as the world’s secrets spill in real time.
Billionaires, cultists, and rogue AIs battle to control the chaos.
To stop the apocalypse, Emma—fearless, damaged, and done taking orders—must out-think an enemy who sees through every lens and listens through every signal. With her team and one last reckless plan, she races to shut down a cyber dystopia before it consumes both planets.
OUTFALL is a relentless cyberpunk thriller from The Wormholescope Chronicles—a darkly funny, high-velocity ride through invention, addiction, and the end of privacy itself.
