Dare to dream!
Welcome to THAT PERFECT WORLD: A Utilitopian London, where that promise of Modernity is to be seen spectacularly achieved: In the autonomous automobiles that populate its streets, and in the flying Harrier-taxis that monopolise its skies, and in the sentient TRNSCTNL.(a)lgrthms that lay hidden within its Internet-of-Thingys; their Synthetic counterparts integrated with exquisite Husk_bod(ie)s, procured at astronomical cost.
Shortlisted for the inaugural Mo Siewcharran Prize 2019, 'THAT PERFECT WORLD' by Bxmn is more Pulp than literary. More fanciful than speculative. And most probably the best Cyberpunk afrofuturistic novel-novella-series-thingy ever.

"Mom, how come we never make it to the End credits?"
Growing up, I loved reading sci-fi. I loved watching sci-fi films—movies, of course. But, I also loved to read sci-fi. For the concepts, and the play of ideas.
I must've read hundreds of stories. And never once did I notice anything missing from these accounts. These insightful and imaginative depictions of the Future.
That is, until I did...notice—finally.
Something missing. Or more...
Someone.
Cyberpunk (noun)
cy·ber·punk
1. science fiction dealing with future urban societies dominated by computer technology; 2. an opportunistic computer hacker.
Cyberpunk is a subgenre of science fiction in a dystopian futuristic setting that tends to focus on a "combination of lowlife and high tech", featuring futuristic technological and scientific achievements, such as artificial intelligence and cybernetics, juxtaposed with societal collapse, dystopia or decay. Much of cyberpunk is rooted in the New Wave science fiction movement of the 1960s and 1970s, when writers like Philip K. Dick, Michael Moorcock, Roger Zelazny, John Brunner, J. G. Ballard, Philip José Farmer and Harlan Ellison examined the impact of drug culture, technology, and the sexual revolution while avoiding the utopian tendencies of earlier science fiction.
