Pulsebreak: The Flatline Era

About this book

In a fractured 2032 America, society is kept in a state of enforced bliss by the Equilibria Link, a mandatory wristband that doses citizens with neurochemicals to suppress disruptive emotions. Seventeen-year-old Jax Rivera, a resourceful bike messenger in Seattle, numbs her grief over her brother's mysterious death until a glitch in her Link awakens raw, unfiltered feeling. Joining forces with a privileged hacker named Kai, a street poet named Mira, and a reformed enforcer named Theo, Jax forms a rebellion called 'Pulsebreak.' As they spread a virus to free others from emotional suppression, they uncover deep-seated conspiracies and face escalating dangers from the oppressive regime. Jax must navigate her newfound emotions, a budding romance, and the heavy burden of leadership as the rebellion builds toward a daring confrontation to reclaim humanity's right to feel.
