IT IS THE FUTURE – AND THE DEAD WALK THE STREETS.Resurrection, Inc. found a profitable way to do it. All it took was a microprocessor brain, a synthetic heart and blood, and a viola! Anyone with the price could buy a Servant with no mind of its own and trained to obey any command. But for every Servant created, Resurrection, Inc.’s profits became everyone’s else’s loss. Some take to rioting in the streets, their rampages ruthlessly ended by heavily armed Enforcers, eager for the kill. Others join the ever growing cult of Neo-Satanism, seeking heaven in the depths of hell.Only one man tries to save the world. He is the last hope for the living. His name is Danal, he’s dead – but he remembers. Everything.
In a future where the deceased are reanimated as mindless laborers by a corporate monopoly, one sentient reanimated man struggles to expose the truth behind the technology. Danal, a man who has been resurrected by the corporation Resurrection, Inc., finds himself an anomaly because he retains his memories and consciousness. He must navigate a volatile society fractured by riots, state-sanctioned violence, and the rise of fringe cults while evading the very corporation that owns his physical form. The narrative follows his desperate attempt to reclaim his humanity and dismantle the system that treats the dead as disposable property.
This work presents a classic cyberpunk scenario that emphasizes the tension between corporate greed and individual autonomy. The premise suggests a narrative focused on the mechanics of a dystopian society where the line between the living and the dead is blurred by technology. Readers likely find the concept of a sentient reanimated protagonist to be the primary hook for exploring themes of consciousness and exploitation. The genre conventions point to a story that prioritizes action and social commentary over subtle character development, creating a bleak vision of a future controlled by industrial interests.
