Encapsulation: A Novel
Planet Dirt: Remnant of an exile world, ground down by governmental and megacorp warring.
The Accident a generation ago erased what its inhabitants had not already forgotten.
Their brightest scientists vanished without a trace, leaving only the icy Wasteland.
Carrick, a gangster, chooses Wasteland exile rather than betray the Family. Within these new walls, Carrick will bend the frontier’s prisoners to his will.
After all, when people won’t choose what’s best for themselves, they must be forced to choose.
But the Wasteland conceals impossible scientific phenomena that force Carrick to realize how little he understands.
And when an officer of humanity’s ancient, starfaring empire crashes into the Wasteland’s heart, he reveals Planet Dirt’s coldest secret.
The Accident was only the beginning of a bitter end.

January 8, 2022As author of this book, I recommend it to all Wasteland artifact-scavengers, fugitives of AI theocracies, and post-cyberpunk mafiosos. For fans of Roadside Picnic, Star Trek, and Neon Genesis Evangelion.

People, we have a problem.
This book and author are severely underrated.
This is such a well-written, interesting plot with intriguing characters. The first half is an interesting setup of the world and situation the MC finds himself in, and the second half takes a pretty wild turn, which is where sci-fi really comes into play.
I should mention that sci-fi isn't really my thing, but I still very much enjoyed this. Highly recommend!
