   > Hello fellow hackers and cyberpunk enthusiasts,   
   >   
   > After 12 months of writing and research, I'm excited (and honestly a bit   
   nervous) to share my first tech-thriller novella "Connection Timeout: The   
   PingStarved Chronicles" with this community. This is my first time publishing   
   fiction, so I'm both shy    
   and thrilled to finally put it out there.   
   >   
   > Set in 2030 Barcelona, it follows Andrés "PingStarved" Reyes, a 56-year-old   
   hacker who must choose between protecting his estranged son and surrendering a   
   revolutionary mesh networking protocol that could liberate global   
   communications from corporate    
   control.   
   >   
   > What makes this different from typical cyberpunk:   
   > * Features real mesh networking protocols (Meshtastic, Reticulum)   
   > * Based on actual security research and exploitation techniques   
   > * Grounded in technologies currently in development   
   > * Authentic hacker culture representation - written by someone who lives it   
   >   
   > This has been a labor of love, combining my passion for privacy tech and   
   resistance against surveillance capitalism into a narrative that I hope   
   resonates with our community. As someone who's been hacking for years but   
   never written fiction before, I    
   poured everything I know and believe about our culture into these pages.   
   >   
   > Details:   
   > - 29,429 words (86 pages, 2-3 hour read)   
   > - Available in PDF and EPUB formats   
   > - Price: $4.99   
   > - Available at: https://rek2.gumroad.com/l/connection-timeout-cyberpunk   
   >   
   > If you enjoyed Neuromancer, Little Brother, or Mr. Robot, this explores   
   similar themes of surveillance capitalism, digital liberty, and technological   
   resistance - but grounded in the real tech we're building today.   
   >   
   > Any feedback from the community would mean the world to me. Thanks for   
   reading!   
   >   
   >   
   > Happy Hacking
