Volumetric
PCBs are dead. Drew builds a device around a harvested chip — a new nervous system for an old brain. A Chip Hunter from Lagos tells him about the facilities where workers don't come back.
A User's Guide to the New Edge
The OHC's founding document. Half manifesto, half technical spec, all attitude. Mondo 2000 for the post-American century.
Building C Dies So Building A Can Live
Drew reads an intercepted maintenance log from the Abilene Strategic Compute Reserve. A skeleton crew is cannibalizing a dead building to keep Sentinel inference alive. He knows the grammar. It's salvage.
Liberty Phone
Drew's mother stayed. In occupied Bushwick the phone is mandatory, the dollar is water, and the only thing she trusts is the radio on the windowsill her son rebuilt into something the microphones can't hear. This is the call he'll remember from Caracas — from her side.
Smoke Over Caracas
Drew hears the Caracas Massacre through the NSAS — every heartbeat, every gunshot, every body hitting the ground. His country did this. He stops building roads and starts building weapons.
The Tremor Test
Someone is forging provenance chains — synthetic video of humans making things that AIs actually made. Drew and Cyc build a detector that watches for the one thing generators can't fake: the way a tired hand shakes.
