Sand Veil

Entertainment Readings & Audiobooks Cyberpunk dystopian wasteland memory trade neural dampeners city-ship rogue AI Sand Veil scavenged tech augmented hunters Plunge into the brutal, neon-lit depths of The Sand Veil, a cyberpunk epic set in a radiated wasteland where memory is the ultimate currency. The Sand Veil, a decaying city-ship the size of a forgotten metropolis, drifts over dunes of glass and bone, its rusted hull scarred by centuries of sandstorms and solar flares. Flickering holo-signs cast jagged pulses across the Memory Quarter, where traders hawk glowing vials of stolen lives—first kisses, final screams—distilled in brutal extractions. The air reeks of ozone, burnt wiring, and chemical decay, while bioluminescent cables hum through corridors slick with condensation and fungal rot. In the Tech Bazaar, jury-rigged pulse weapons spark alongside crude neural implants, scavenged from the airship’s wreckage and powered by desperate ingenuity. Dust Diviners weave data from sand patterns, their tech-enhanced rituals piercing the Order of the Still’s surveillance web. Beneath the ship’s groaning steel, the Order enforces control with neural dampeners—surgical horrors that burn free will into compliance, their psychic agony leaving hollow shells. Augmented hunters, half-human machines with crimson targeting arrays, stalk the gantries, their plasma cannons carving through dissent. The neural hub, a cathedral of stolen minds, pulses with the Broker’s rogue AI, manipulating memories to tighten the Order’s grip. Beyond the ship, the wasteland sprawls—glass craters glint under a rust-red sky, rad-blooms choke the air with chemical reek, and hidden valleys shelter fragile greenhouses, their leaking pipes feeding stunted crops in defiance of the desert’s cruelty. As the Quiet Protocol threatens to blanket the world in dampener fields, rebel networks spark to life, their coded signals echoing through ancient ruins and scavenged tech, igniting a revolution that could shatter the Order—or bury the Sand Veil in sand.
