Cyberside: Level Zero unravels the extraordinary rise of Fall Water Lake, a once-small game studio that quietly evolves into a global tech empire—one that reshapes reality in ways no one could have predicted.
Told across four defining eras, the story follows James Reynolds, an ambitious engineer whose steady climb through the company exposes a chilling truth: the game he’s helping to build isn’t just a game. It’s a blueprint for something far bigger—and far more dangerous.
Blending speculative fiction with unsettling real-world parallels, Level Zero is a pulse-pounding exploration of corporate power, artificial intelligence, and the thin, treacherous line between illusion and control. As technology tightens its grip, one question looms: Are we shaping the future, or is it shaping us?

"A gripping speculative thriller that takes readers deep into the high-stakes world of game development and the dark secrets lurking beneath. A must-read for tech enthusiasts and sci-fi fans alike" - Richard Moriarty, The Sun
