The Lieben Cycle

Cyberpunk AI meets gene-splicers when factions fight to define the first sapient artificial intelligence Lieben and the world.

In the dawning of the post The Flag War corpocratic age, multinationals such as The Conglom and The Syndicate filled the void as nations continued to crumble to corporate interest.

The Conglomerate's promise? To usher in a better age for humanity through technological progress and merit. Into this new paradigm, Dr. Karnak brought the world's first sapient artificial intelligence, Lieben, as a prototype android in 2085.

Seven decades later, Aderastos sets the human race against its next stage in evolution, if he can survive long enough to rescue his fellows, and Max. Two interconnected storylines intersect.

Will Lieben help, or hinder?

    A Horrific Anthology of Terror and Thrill by the Inexhaustible Media WriteTeam.

    “The wire suspended from the ceiling and attached in the centre of frigid mitts. Arms torqued behind his back, the prisoner was shackled from elbow to fingers in metal. He sagged by distended shoulders, naked but for the torn and stained grey jumpsuit trousers ripped and barely clinging to his hips. Bare toes scraped on the barren floor.”
