Everyone in Cyclone City knows this. Most of them have decided to keep going anyway.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJimmy Apanatchi has a solution for a dying world: a fake afterlife, an infinite number of years crammed into seconds, packaged and sold to every gang willing to pay for it. When he goes rogue and gets himself killed, he comes back as something worse — a monster built from every story the city ever told about itself, ready to burn it all to the ground.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eZuno didn't plan on being involved. He was just a loner with a synthetic deer skull where his head used to be, bolted onto the body of police mech after a rampage gone wrong. His first assignment coincides with the end of the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKentaro has no memory and a talking sword. He's doing his best.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCielo is headed straight to hell.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMeanwhile, deep in the Rhizome — the city's living, mycelial internet — something is waking up and forming opinions. And factions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGods Fare No Better is cyberpunk anime at maximum volume: darkly funny, genuinely moving, and relentlessly strange. A kaleidoscopic kitchen sink novel of over-the-top gore and palliative philosophy. Readers have called it Hotline Miami meets The Guyver. Proceed accordingly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"The start of something new.\" — Goodreads reviewer\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Loud, ugly, beautiful. This novel won't be for everyone.
