[The Chip 01] • The Chip-Head Apocalypse

Follow a ragtag band of misfits in this fast-paced, action packed novel as they weave their way through a city at the point of complete breakdown. Blade Runner meets Night of the Living Dead as McManus puts a twist on classic zombie lore and paints a disturbing picture of a near-future dystopia where the streets of Hollywood are a battleground and the last of the real humans are the odd men out. The year is 2025. Los Angeles and the rest of the country is now run by The Corporation. With society stuck in a long emergency of unemployment and general apathy The Corporation rolls out a unique product designed to make the lives of the average citizen a little more exciting. With a simple and affordable procedure anyone can have a microchip installed in their head that will make it possible to access every piece of entertainment ever created. It sounds great, but strange things begin to happen when the product is released and very soon those without The Chip are running for their lives.
