Sinopsis
In "Roots of Neon," the boundaries between nature and technology blur in the bioluminescent megalopolis of Neo-Gaia. Zara, a brilliant botanist-hacker with the unique ability to communicate with both plants and AI, finds herself at the center of a conspiracy that threatens the city's delicate symbiosis. As she navigates this vibrant urban landscape, where buildings pulse with glowing veins and sentient trees form vast networks, Zara must confront her own hybrid nature and the true meaning of consciousness. The story unfolds like a bio-digital tapestry, weaving together Zara's present-day adventures with flashbacks to Neo-Gaia's founding. Readers are immersed in a world where the scent of genetically modified flowers mingles with the buzz of pollinator drones, and data flows like sap through the city's living architecture. As Zara delves deeper into the city's glowing underbelly, she encounters a cast of fascinating characters, including a rogue AI collective and a charming eco-terrorist, each challenging her perceptions of progress and harmony.
