Highest Society
This marks my first truly serious, carefully crafted work. While I've put heart into my previous books, Highest Society stands apart. It's sharper. Heavier. More deliberate. A satirical deep-dive into what it feels like to stand at the top — only to watch it all slip away.
You could say it's my own messed-up lens on the elite — those sitting high above, too far removed to care about the people below. Is it a critique of modern society? Maybe. But I'm not smart enough to call myself a social commentator. So instead, I built a fictional world where this kind of thing shouldn't happen. ...Right, guys?
Cyberpunk 2077 left a heavy mark on me — and on this story. The worldbuilding, the themes, the tech-noir vibes? All thanks to that neon-drenched dystopia. But the heart of the story? That comes straight from Red Rising. God, I love that series. I devoured the first trilogy in under a month — and, like a creative aftershock, this book came to life just as fast. I haven't gotten around to the second trilogy yet, but that original run? Chef's kiss. Highly recommended.
Milady Madelyn, hands down. I went full deep-dive on that one — researched every single bit of sci-fi tech and theory I could find. And guess what? Most of it is actually possible in real life. That chapter was pure fun and obsession rolled into one.
