First of all, congratulations on finishing your novel. It sounds sick, I hope one day I can read it. I feel like it’s got one foot in science fiction and the other in dystopian.
A really interesting sci-fi premise. The setting is dystopianish, but that’s the sub-genre of sci-fi anyway.Congratulations on your accomplishment!

Thanks so much, Jessi. When it's published, I'll put your compliment beneath the blurb: Sick! --Jessi

Raphael Lennon, thought dead after committing terrorist acts against The Eliot Group, an alliance of AI firms ruling the U.S., has hidden in the California Sierra for four years. If found alive, the Group will “skin him and bury the quivering flesh in a coffin of salt.” When his soulmate Addy leaves camp to buy supplies but doesn't return, Raphael sets out to find her.
He soon encounters the disturbing world that the Group has created. Using fungi as a neural substitute, Eliot has revived dead individuals as mobile cyborgs. But the newly minted humanoids can’t dream, leading to comas after a few weeks of human-like activities.
Raphael learns that Eliot has taken Addy to the Project, a structure in the Sequoia National Forest. In the Project, Eliot experiments instilling dreams into the cyborgs by dissecting and mining human brains. Raphael must expose his own identity and offer up his soul to save Addy from this nightmare.
