A young woman awakens to find she has been turned into a cyborg. Gaslighted by the assumed normality of her situation she represses her fears and accepts the abuses she is subjected to, compelled to embrace her fate in law enforcement.
Set in a world where individual rights have succumbed to an increasing corporate hegemony, how does one escape corporate rule when one's own body is a tool for corporate rule? With inbuilt AI and preprogrammed abilities, she is an unwilling superhuman; one of many heavily-armed cyborgs that patrol the mostly vacant streets.
Glorious Killing Machine depicts a dark, sexualised synetopian world of abuse, coercion, body horror, and corporate hegemony. It is a world of constant surveillance and diminished personal freedom.
