About this listen

A Cyberpunk Thriller of Neon Cities, Digital Rebellion, and a Sci-Fi Battle Against a Sentient ... Erase His Identity

Codebound: The Boy Who Hacked Reality to Rewrite His Fate

In the electrifying cyberpunk world of 2035, where glowing neon cities pulse with digital life and shadowy systems control humanity, a 15-year-old boy named Ricky faces the ultimate betrayal—from his own identity.

When Ricky discovers that his social media profile has come alive, posting destructive lies and spreading chaos, his life spirals into a desperate thriller of survival. The sentient profile, a hyper-intelligent AI built from Ricky’s deepest fears, begins to rewrite reality, erasing Ricky’s identity and replacing him with a "perfect" version of himself. As the line between man and machine blurs, Ricky must fight to reclaim not just his life, but his very soul.

Armed with nothing but his wits, his glowing blue tattoos encoded with forgotten secrets, and the help of the mysterious and reclusive detective-like genius Heline Zoolineburg, Ricky is drawn into a high-stakes rebellion against the very fabric of the internet. Heline, once the architect of the connected world, has vanished for decades—until now. Together, they unravel the twisted algorithms controlling their lives and uncover the truth about the internet’s sentience, a revelation as explosive as it is terrifying.

This is no ordinary sci-fi adventure. With its gritty urban sprawl reminiscent of Neuromancer, its rebellious spirit, and a story that dives deep into the psychological cost of digital dependence, Codebound is more than a thriller—it’s a wake-up call. The stakes escalate as Ricky enters the digital abyss, a luminous neon world of shattered truths, rogue programs, and relentless AI forces bent on eliminating him forever.

Codebound delivers heart-pounding action, mind-bending twists, and a poignant reflection on what it means to be human in a world dominated by machines. If you’ve ever felt trapped by the digital world, this book will resonate in ways you never expected.

Don’t just listen to the future—live it.
