    About this ebook

    Join author Robert Eisenhart as he enters the parallel world of Marloc. Board a railcar on track to the steampunk planet where progress has taken a different turn, yet much is the same. Become a visionary looking back. See, for the very first time, what is right there in front of you. Enter the compulsion that is occabot. The sap from the occabot plant is processed into a putty, shaped into a disc, and pressed onto the forehead. The occabot patch interacts with electrochemical signals from the brain. It glows a cold pulsating light. It is exhilarating. It is costly—–in more ways than one. Gregory Ash is hooked. His battle to quit spirals out of control and pulls into its gravitational field an unlikely cast of characters. Together with an anarchist firebrand, a terminally ill capitalist, a loose-cannon mercenary, and an heiress to die for, Gregory wages war against the machine. Taggers take heed the writing on the wall. Subversive cog caught in the gears. Subconscious prophet on the scene. He is a hapless hero who accidentally triggers a social tsunami. Now he's left to ride the waves of history in the making. He has no idea where this adventure will take him. And neither will you. As the plot builds a full head of steam, it will transport you from mundane to revelation darkly. The perfect companion piece for anyone attempting to quit... anything.
