Description

Rosie Record’s new Dystopian—Cyberpunk novel introduces readers to a world devastated by the ravages of climate change, overpopulation, religious extremism, corruption, and two opposing forces vying for control of California Annex.

Too tall to see beyond and impossible to breach, the iconic wall encompassing California-Annex is nothing more than a forgettable reality for generation PW1.6. Cities stretch further into the sky, and the Green Initiative ensures vegetation covers virtually every surface. The Annex is now an emerald dystopia being pushed by the authoritative Governance and pulled by an unseen organization called The Agency. Over the years, the two opposing forces have wrapped themselves into a codependent relationship—but that relationship is starting to disintegrate.

Enter Fiona Tronick—on the surface, she looks like a grungy pusher selling shine in back alleys, but underneath her bad jokes and bad attitude, she’s a street operative known as a controller—and she's always been loyal to The Agency. When a milky-eyed stranger hands her a briefcase of evidence pointing toward her employer’s cover-up of an influencer’s disappearance, she begins to wonder what else they're hiding. But when asked to execute that same milky-eyed messenger, she begins to wonder what else they're hiding from her.

As she rubs shoulders with political leaders in coastal mansions, confronts religious zealots in flooded San Diego, reconnects with her outlaw brother, and taps into the gritty underworld of the Trenches, she begins to see the lies go deeper and wider than she could have ever imagined.

Everything is connected. Connected to her …

Advance Praise

“Rosie Record has created a powerful, captivating vision of a future that could very well be. A world where the populace’s every action is monitored and every thought is subjected to subconscious bombardment. Record’s antihero, Fiona Tronick, is no costumed avenger. She’s a woman, mostly alone in an uncaring world, trying to stay alive long enough to answer the questions that have been haunting her.

This is one of the best dystopian novels I’ve read—a great balance of suspenseful action and compelling reflection on how much we are all controlled by our circumstances.”

—Joel Pierson, author of The Messenger Series


"Record manages to accomplish something that is often lost in dystopian stories—she mixes in a heavy dose of character, cerebration, and heart over a sleek and all too realistic backdrop. Fiona Tronick doesn’t just amble through the story. She is the story. Her inner turmoil and independent spirit feels real and heartfelt.

​Dystopian stories often exist in a bubble of, This is just the way the world is, but TRONICK takes its time setting the scene and creating a world that could exist in our near future.

​Visually expletive and quietly raw. A thoroughly satisfying read."

—Bobby Sansivero, film director


This anxiety-riddled but strong female antihero set in a sinister utopia provides the perfect backdrop for commentary on society, politics, religion, and what it actually means to have control."

Featured Reviews

Loved this! The cover of the book is also so bad ass. The chapter names (various colors) aligning with the energy of each chapter was unique and fun. Tronick’s grunge and rock n’ roll-esq aesthetic and personality was entertaining throughout the entire book. The dystopian world / other characters Record brought to the table was eclectic in all the right ways.
