Eden Zero

In the neon metropolis of Eden in 2077, a billion people live comfortable lives in a carefully crafted digital illusion, knowing nothing of the decaying world outside. Ling Feng, a data prodigy and elite hacker who operates on the fringes of the network under the codename Code, stumbles upon an unusual stream of data. It is no ordinary glitch, but an echo of reality from beyond Eden. This forbidden truth jolts him awake and makes him question the meaning of his existence.

To pursue a truth so suffocating it threatens to crush him, Ling Feng seeks help from Ye Zhao, the mysterious streetwise fixer known by the codename Nova. A pragmatist who makes her living selling rare, illegal technology and information, Ye Zhao initially scoffs at Ling Feng's “delusions.” But as they work together through one dangerous operation after another, they are drawn into a vast conspiracy over survival and freedom. They must infiltrate Eden's central matrix, expose the brutal truth behind this perfect illusion, and decide humanity's future: remain lost in false tranquility, or bravely face a collapsing reality? Thus begins a cyberpunk thriller about the awakening of consciousness, the search for identity, and free will.
