   Thank you! yes is small, is like an intro story that could be worked on to be a   
   series instead of just one mini novella book. If is well recieved in the   
   community I will put the time to make more. Do remember is still cyberpunk   
   still   
   futurist but very short time 5 years or so from now, so will keep that focus   
   this way I can talk about current tech and exploits etc with out been to crazy   
   for example some blade runner movies the tech never happened by 2020 ;) like   
   flying cars... others did but mostly did not, the idea tho it is,  the   
   cyberpunk dystopian vibe that the world is heading into that is correct 100%

   Happy Hacking
