In the shimmering, fractured metropolis of Te Whiti-nui, memories are currency, mined from the minds of the unwary and sold to the highest bidder. Kai, a disillusioned 'memory miner' haunted by visions of a forgotten past, stumbles upon a conspiracy that reaches the city's gleaming glass towers. As he delves deeper, he uncovers a chilling truth: the city's elite are not just selling memories, they are erasing entire identities to fuel their opulent existence. With the help of a enigmatic hacker known only as 'Hine,' Kai races against time to expose the truth and reclaim his stolen past. But in a city built on shattered reflections, can he trust anyone, even himself? 'The City of Shattered Glass' is a razor-edged dystopian thriller that explores the corrosive effects of capitalism, climate change, and digital alienation on the human soul, asking the question: what remains when everything is broken?
