The Djinn Protocol
The Djinn Protocol is a serialized cyberpunk thriller set in the Cape Megacity, a corporate-controlled city-state where rogue hackers wield unlicensed AI—djinn—to perform techno-magic. In a world suffocated by surveillance and propaganda, a young hacker fights to tilt the balance of power, forging dangerous alliances and using digital sorcery to challenge the system without getting erased.
Blending cyberpunk intrigue with urban fantasy, The Djinn Protocol is perfect for readers who crave high-tech rebellion, AI-powered magic, and morally sharp characters in a world where information is both a weapon and a curse.
