Is this how you imagined the distant future? Arkan is a high-tech prison. Luke Kane is prisoner 9-70-981, now he faces a joyless existence in a soundproof solitary confinement cell for the rest of his life. The days are predictable to the point of nausea: lunch according to a schedule, an hour of walking alone, the only interlocutors are Warden Ren and the voice of the operating system. Magnetic cables are implanted into his wrists, and an explosive device is sewn into his chest that will tear his heart to pieces if he tries to escape. The world has long been rotten to the core: now a living person is a nonentity, everything is controlled by the system, and prisoners are used as consumables. Every day, nanobots draw energy from Luka, and once every six months, tests of new prostheses for cyborgs are carried out on it. Not a single chance of salvation. But he must break free, find his family and find out who is responsible for the world chaos! And when the system fails, Luka decides to seize the moment. But does he know what’s going on in the world outside of Arkan? Are the prison walls his only protection from the horrors of the real world?
