Description

The pinnacle of technology meets the depths of depravity…

We build new technology—artificial limbs, neural interfaces, artificially intelligent sex dolls—and what do we get? Glitches. Malfunctions. Corruption.
Crash Code is an anthology of cyberpunk horror, exploring 27 stories where human life depends on every single line of code running perfectly.
A virtual reality game that refuses to be shut off. A time travel drug that drives its users mad. New tech that lets you look like anyone—even your neighbors. End-of-life care that lets its users live their best days on loop and much more.
We are excited to see the return of several Blood Bound Books authors for this project as well as a great mix of new writers.

Featured Reviews

When I first saw this title, I kept thinking of codes used in hospitals and ER's, like Code Blue and so forth. So I had to slightly adjust my perception, to consider programming code instead. This is a Cyberpunk Anthology of 27 stories. Some of these stories are EYE-OPENERS, you know that "Wow" emoticon feeling; some made me despair for the future of Humanity; others reminded me of the perception of malecentric Science Fiction which I've always had while reading "Classic SF" of the 1940's and 1950's. [You know, That Era in History when Women SF writers had to publish under masculine pseudonyms; before Anticolonial Science Fiction by authors of
Color was even acknowledged.] Don't worry, readers will find a wide variety here, and impetus to seek out further work by these authors. In conclusion, I want to give a shoutout to my favorite tale [although my second favorite two were "Mr. Companion" (take THAT, arrogant Humanity) and the eye-opener "Deepest Fake"] is "Cold Calculation," which I thought "had it all" and resulted in a stunning and unforgettable conclusion.
