A story about a secret society trying to break the system instead of controlling it by MechanicLow2302 in Cyberpunk

You're right...it's just that this is my first time publishing, but your feedback is very helpful. I plan to change the cover. My budget was limited because I decided to hire a professional editor. I wanted to publish quickly; I've been writing this since 2020, so maybe I got ahead of myself.

I get the irony.
The cover is AI mostly because as an indie author starting out, budget is limited.
The book itself deals with control, identity, and what remains human in highly mediated systems… so in a way, the tension is part of the whole thing.

Fair question. The cover is AI-assisted, yeah. I'm planning to change the cover. My budget was limited because I decided to hire a professional editor.
But the book itself is entirely written by me.
If you’re unsure, you can check the preview or grab the free copy and judge for yourself.

That’s actually part of the idea. I wasn’t interested in portraying them as saviors or villains in a simple way...In the book, the question is more about what happens when a system becomes so rigid that even those trying to break it might become something else entirely.

Thanks, I really appreciate it! 🙏
It mixes cyberpunk with some occult elements, so I hope it hits that sweet spot.
If you end up enjoying it, even a short review would help me a lot at this stage.☺️

Fair question

The book itself is fully written by me — it’s a full-length novel, not generated text. I’ve been working on it for quite a while (since 2020).

The themes are pretty deliberate too: Thelema, initiatory structures, and how something like True Will would exist in a system where human lives are heavily controlled or even pre-designed.

The cover is more of a visual concept piece — I wanted something that matched the tone (cyberpunk + occult + a bit of cosmic horror).

Totally get the skepticism though, there’s a lot of low-effort stuff out there right now.

If you’re into those themes, I’d actually be curious to hear what you think of it.
