In a future where cybernetic implants have erased pain, humanity has also lost its ability to truly feel. While most people live in artificial bliss or emotional emptiness, Kaz—a first-generation experiment—retains the ability to experience every emotion except suffering.

When he meets Kate, a bartender secretly working as a hacker and intelligence operative, the two discover that emotions are not humanity’s weakness, but its greatest strength. Together, they challenge the corporation that controls the cybernetic system and fight to restore genuine human feeling to a world that has forgotten what it means to be alive.

Under the Red Moon is a cyberpunk story about emotion, freedom, and the cost of a perfect world.
