Synopsis


"A gripping near future yarn, We Are Not Anonymous is an inspiring story for those who believe that courage can outmatch control." Eva Pascoe, co-founder of digital futures think tank, Cybersalon.


Near future England - climate-flooded and divided.

Beth and Naomi risk everything to confront Kai, the charismatic leader of the tech-elite.

Kai is enticing the public into his deceptive dystopia, with cutting-edge technology and a seemingly benevolent vision for the world.

Secretly, he is experimenting on children to accelerate evolution while openly attempting to control the government.

Beth must stop him before it's too late. But, can she live with the cost?


"Now that we've lived into the future that cyberpunk projected, we urgently need to fight our way out. This book imagines and encourages that fight." Ken MacLeod, multi-award winning author.

"A frighteningly credible near-future dystopia that is as convincing as it is disturbing, We Are Not Anonymous unfolds with cinematic scale and urgency." Ewan Morrison, award winning author and essayist.

"An intellectually arresting, thought-provoking work of creative futurism that drives our current politics and technology to their magical - and logical - extremes." Ana Sun, author.

"Stephen Oram combines gripping storytelling with scientific literacy and original SF. Instead of rearranging tropes he comes up with new ideas." Geoff Ryman, multi-award-winning author of HIM.

"The resourcefulness both of the resistance activists and of those they resist is gripping, as is the thrusting and often clever parrying that goes on between those in power and those who seek to keep them accountable." Susan Maxwell, BSFA Review (British Science Fiction Association).
