This legitimately sounds like a hilarious read. Like a B-Movie, but with books.

This is so stupid it wraps around to hilarious, then wraps around again to just plain stupid.

I knew it looked photoshopped but wanted it to be real, so I looked up the isbn. Sadly, it is not this book. Weirdly, it is a different scifi book that sounds half decent and actually won an award.

Brute Orbits by Goerge Zebrowski. He was (just died in Dec of 2024) a scifi machine and churned out several of the star trek books as well as a shit load of original works all through the 70's till about 2000. And this one happens to be one of his highest rated works.

Also in this rabbit hole: he worked/lived with (possible partner of?) Pamela Sargent who wrote Earthseed. A huge scifi book for those who are into it.

I checked the isbn, it's brute orbits by George Zebrowski

That ISBN does match, but I've just... obtained... Brute Orbits and it doesn't seem like what's described in the picture. It's about futuristic prisons and seems to have little or no cyberpunk elements.

Edit: Found it! It's The Neon Divide: A Cyberpunk Saga

I get the impression that this is actually fanfiction based on the image, rather than the source of the image:

Disclosure: This is an AI assisted writing exercise to expand on preexisting copypasta
