Synopsis
Gayler's worldbuilding is spellbinding… excels at placing humanity’s reliance on technology under a microscope and dissects the topic through a vivid and imaginative futuristic reality. SF fans will enjoy the moral debate presented in this engaging thriller… BookLife Prize 2023
Across the globe, computers and phones suddenly erupt with dazzling neon light, casting billions into a hypnotic trance. In the eerie calm following the global catastrophe, four survivors struggle to navigate a world ruled by a mysterious Alternate Intelligence.
Jessie Aguilar, hardened by the atrocities she witnessed, emerges from her underground hideout, driven by a thirst for revenge. With the strange assistance of a computer system controlling all technology, she walks a fine line between trust and betrayal, playing a deadly game against an opponent who seems impossible to defeat.
Ten-year-old Mason, an autistic empath with extraordinary abilities, embarks on a thousand-mile journey to find his missing father. Gifted with the power to free those enslaved by the neon light, Mason finds the lines between friend and foe dangerously blurred as he wages his own battle against the AI.
Dev Patel, leaving behind the safety of his remote Utah refuge, joins his companion Martin on a mission to confront the entity threatening what remains of the world. For Martin, the mission is personal—he helped create the very AI they now seek to destroy.
Their paths converge in the ruins of Las Vegas, where the survivors must face the Neon God in a final showdown. As the neon lights continue to spread, threatening to consume humanity forever, time is running out to save the world from a fate far worse than destruction.
Intense and thought provoking, The Neon God paints a dystopian future of technology gone awry… and not far from becoming reality.
