Science Fiction
In a near future Tokyo, every action—from blinking to sexual
intercourse—is intellectual property owned by corporations
that charge licensing fees. A BodyBank computer system
implanted in each citizen records their movements from
moment to moment, and connects them to the audio-visual
overlay of the ImmaNet, so that every inch of this
cyber-dystopian metropolis crawls with information and
shifting cinematic promotainment.
Amon Kenzaki works
as a Liquidator for the Global Action Transaction Authority.
His job is to capture bankrupt citizens, remove their
BodyBank, and banish them to BankDeath Camps where they are
forever cut off from the action-transaction economy. Amon
always plays by the rules and is steadily climbing the
Liquidation Ministry ladder.
With his savings
accumulating and another promotion coming, everything seems
to be going well, until he is asked to cash crash a
charismatic politician and model citizen, and soon after is
charged for an incredibly expensive action called “jubilee”
that he is sure he never performed. To restore balance to
his account, Amon must unravel the secret of jubilee, but
quickly finds himself asking dangerous questions about the
system to which he’s devoted his life, and the costly
investigation only drags him closer and closer to the pit of
bankruptcy.
In book one of the Jubilee Cycle, Cash
Crash Jubilee, debut novelist Eli K. P. William wields
the incisive power of speculative fiction to show how, in a
world of corporate finance run amok, one man will do
everything for the sake of truth and justice.
