I'm Writing A Cyberpunk Novel!
I’M WRITING A CYBERPUNK NOVEL!
Over the past twenty years, I’ve written numerous screenplays and a few novels. I scaled back massively on my writing once I became a commercial artist—which was where the money was/is—however I always wanted to get back into purely writing for writing’s sake.
I felt like there were now new and inventive ways to share my writing in a way that could entice a bigger audience. I know that audiobooks are huge and so is YouTube, so Jex and I have been planning for about six months to get into publishing stories on YouTube that utilize some video/image elements.
If you wanted to listen to the story in the background as an audiobook, that would work; conversely, if you wanted to watch it like a movie with the image/video elements edited in, you could do that, too. We decided that would be the direction to go.
CYBERPUNK INSPIRATION
After playing around 300 hours of Cyberpunk 2077 over the past few months, I fell deeply in love with the world, lore, characters and game mechanics. Although I had some misgivings with the diverse, forked storytelling and would continually think of things I wish my character, “V” could be allowed to do. Some quests and storylines would end in ways that were deterministically negative that I wishes I had the option to spin positively.
Anyhow, after thinking about it for a few weeks, I decided I’d just write a cyberpunk novel! This would be a fan fiction that I could write and publish for free on YouTube for everyone to experience.
THE CYBERPUNK NOVEL’S PREMISE
The premise is simple: in the world of Cyberpunk, the primary setting is a place called Night City, which is filled with ordinary citizens, good cops/bad cops, junkies, street thugs, hackers, billionaire corpos, paramilitary groups, nomads, cyberware-equipped mercenaries and more.
The lead character in the story is a guy named Joseph Jehoshaphat Callahan AKA “J”. He’s been a merc in Night City for five years and is climbing the ladder within the shadowy hierarchy of control, power, privilege and prestige in the system.
We’re going to follow J as he goes through the doldrums of merc-life and all of the accouterments, good and bad. We’ll meet his allies and contacts and even fixers who provide him with gigs that send him on adventures. We’ll follow his adventures as he’s harried by ex-girlfriends, fixers, needy corpo clients and anyone desperate for someone to put finger to trigger on their behalf.
Each story will entail J taking on another “gig” with a job setup, description, unique and specific allies and enemies, potential love interests and new equipment and body modifications that might help him in current or future endeavors.
The overall story will evolve and grow from relatively small adventures that lead to a bigger storyline that involves high stakes for everyone in Night City and beyond!
Right now, I’m 25 pages in—which I’m doing during breaks from working on Neon Dreams 2—but progress is swift and satisfying!
I hope you’re looking forward to J’s cyberpunk adventures as much as I am!
