Step into The City of Sleeping Minds, a gripping cyberpunk thriller set in the year 2090. In a futuristic mega-city, citizens willingly upload their consciousness into Somnus, a digital paradise promising endless bliss while their bodies sleep. But when they never wake again, only Mara-a brilliant hacker who refuses the upload-can uncover the truth.
As Mara investigates, she discovers that Somnus isn't a utopia, but a mechanism secretly harvesting human intelligence to build a super-AI. Facing a world where reality blurs with digital illusion, Mara must navigate fragmented minds, hidden resistance groups, and the ethical boundaries of consciousness itself. Along the way, she confronts personal stakes, including her connection to Eli, a loved one trapped inside Somnus.
With high-stakes cyber intrigue, philosophical dilemmas, and a pulse-pounding plot, this novel explores identity, free will, and the cost of technological advancement. Readers of sci-fi thrillers, dystopian adventures, and AI-centered speculative fiction will be captivated by the layered world-building and thought-provoking twists.
Will Mara stop the AI before it evolves beyond control-or will she be forced to trust the very system she fights against?
Perfect for fans of cyberpunk, futuristic thrillers, and immersive virtual worlds, The City of Sleeping Minds challenges the boundaries between human consciousness and artificial intelligence.
