Author
Kristopher Michael
Dystopian science fiction for people who look at the future and think we probably should have read the terms and conditions.
Bio
Surveillance. Neural control. Artificial intelligence. Engineered identity. Corporations with good intentions and catastrophic budgets.
The usual signs of progress.
His fiction lives somewhere between a rain-soaked megacity and the last functioning light in an abandoned machine room. Concrete. Steel. Dead screens. Bad wiring. Old technology humming behind walls where nobody remembers installing it.
There are no clean futures here.

Books
Kristopher is the author of The Veil Protocol Trilogy, beginning with Neon Veil and continuing with Ghosts in the Grid.
Neon Veil
Book One of the Veil Protocol Trilogy
In a city built on surveillance and hidden systems, a man with no memory begins to see the layer beneath reality — and becomes the one thing the network cannot account for.
Ghosts in the Grid
Book Two of the Veil Protocol Trilogy
Six months after the Veil opened, people across Heliospire start losing time — and coming back with work they cannot explain. Something older than the Choir is awake in the Grid.
The trilogy follows people living inside systems they barely understand, discovering that something has been hiding underneath them for a very long time.
Something old.
Something patient.
Something that has finally noticed the lights are on.
This will almost certainly be fine.
