This is a great read for any fan of cyberpunk, particularly of Netrunner. Not in-universe per se, but clearly referencing everything about the game with very clever turns of phrases and pseudonyms. Joe pulls that off while diving deep into his vision of that dystopia, putting his own spin on it while avoiding cliches and telling a compelling character-driven story.

A fair story about a kid who has a lot of secrets entering into a world of secrets.
With reasonable descriptions of characters and strong depictions of scenery, this story has a ton of potential!
It's a little early to say too much more about the story. We've had action scenes, a little bit of romantic interest, and a gripping call to action, all that remains to be seen is how the story will actually play out.
