Overveiw

In the City, technology has made life seemingly effortless. People follow an orderly existence while machines handle almost everything. Albert is an ordinary citizen who rarely questions this system—until an unexpected encounter with an outlaw child changes his life.

Blackmailed into taking action, Albert becomes caught between the authorities and those resisting the City's control. Forced to flee, he enters a hidden world of radicals, rebels and cyber-junkies, where he begins uncovering disturbing truths about the society he has always trusted.

Book Summary

Albert lives in a highly automated society where machines perform most tasks and citizens are expected to follow the established order. His routine is disrupted when he encounters Theo, an outlaw child with a mysterious secret.

What begins as an unusual encounter soon becomes a fight for survival. Albert is pursued by authorities and forced into a hidden world populated by rebels, radicals and cyber-junkies. As he learns more about the City and the forces controlling it, he discovers that the reality he has accepted may be far more sinister than he imagined.

Blending cyberpunk technology with dystopian adventure, Domechild explores freedom, conformity, rebellion and the consequences of questioning an apparently perfect society.
