Privatized Freedom

About this book

In the frozen heart of Svalbard, the future is privately owned. Ashton Frey is a washed-up private investigator with a burned-out neural implant and a job he should’ve walked away from. Now he’s chasing a corporate conspiracy from the gutters of Helsinki to the permafrost of the Arctic north. Haunted by his past, hunted by kill teams, and carrying an ego-maniacal AI in his head that won’t shut up. Privatized Freedom is a gritty Nordic cyberpunk thriller soaked in corporate absurdity and razor-edged satire, where AIs are in therapy, assassins offer customer satisfaction surveys, and rebellion comes with a subscription fee. Equal parts high-velocity action and dark comedy, it’s a savage ride through a future that’s already been bought and sold.
