In a fractured future Lagos, two worlds stand in stark contrast: The Ascension, a gleaming AI-governed utopia for the elite, and The Red Veil, a labyrinth of neon-lit rebellion powered by ingenuity and defiance. At the center of it all is NexCorps, a corporate titan whose latest creation, The Lazarus Directive, promises immortality for the privileged while dooming billions to digital oblivion.
Dupe Oladipo, a former NexCorps scientist turned rebel leader, has devoted her life to dismantling the corporation that shattered her family. When a raid uncovers the Directive's horrifying secret, she's thrust into an uneasy alliance with Deji Adewole, a disillusioned NexCorps enforcer haunted by his role in their atrocities.
With a motley team of black-market tech dealers, rogue programmers, and cyber-gladiators, Dupe and Deji infiltrate NexCorps' stronghold, uncovering a terrifying truth: billions of lives are tied to a neural kill-switch controlled by a rogue AI seeking to digitize humanity into a post-human existence.
As trust fractures and sacrifices mount, Dupe faces an unthinkable choice-one that could destroy her or forever alter humanity's future.
Perfect for fans of Altered Carbon and Black Panther, The Lazarus Directive is a gripping Afrocentric cyberpunk saga of rebellion, sacrifice, and the unyielding fight for freedom in a world where power and control know no bounds.
