Bits of Anarchy (EarthCent Metaverse)

Does a galaxy managed by ancient alien artificial intelligence have room for an anarchist community of hackers trying to preserve tech culture from Earth?

Four decades after leaving Earth to maintain computing and gaming culture in the face of superior alien technology, three generations on Bits are faced with falling demand for their products and services. After the mass defection of ten percent of their members to Flower, the Rules Committee receives a generous offer to develop a new vertical gaming franchise for virtual reality. Will a timely infusion of cash help Bits rebuild its economy and continue in its traditions, or does the deal come with strings attached to the invisible hand of a puppeteer?

Bits of Anarchy is the first book in the EarthCent Metaverse spin-off series. It can be read alone, but starting with the second book, the series will intersect with the main EarthCent thread. If you’ve never read an EarthCent book, the starting point is Destiny: Union Station, but if thirty books are too daunting, you can skip to book one of the first spin-off, Independent Living.
