Christian Cyberpunk Is a Thing
Cyberpunk is science fiction category typically in a high tech dystopian setting.
Most Cyberpunk fans scoff at the idea of Christians writing Cyberpunk. Christians are supposedly against all science, backwards, etc. Only secular atheists should be able to write scifi. Christians belong in a church. Those who claim to be cyberpunk fans become irrationally close-minded, intolerant, hostile and insulting to conservatives.
This anti-Christian liberal view is laughable. How scientific is it for a person to claim they are a sex when their chromosomes belong to another sex? How scientific is it to deny that life begins at conception? Where is the science in evolution that can not explain the origin of the universe? Apply Darwinian evolution to other fields such as psychology and you see that it is based upon Freud, who was a complete fraud.
But secular minds still cannot conceive of how Christians can be forward thinking. Christians want the old way of parenting, of running a government, of running a household or business . . . only because they worked a lot better than the current disastrous complete failures in liberal social experimentation. However, that does not mean that Christians are against progress and innovation.
The main reason there is a definite place for Christians in Science Fiction is because of Man's failures when they stray from God, and the predictable nature of those future failed attempts to fix the failures. In fact, because of this, a conservative viewpoint is much more suited to writing science fiction. Fantasy, on the other hand, would seem to be the domain of the liberal, whether in fiction, or non-fiction.
Fiction works when things in the story go wrong, not when it is all unicorns and rainbows. It would be pretty tough to come up with some tension where Christians are causing problems to the righteous atheists, although scifi writers like to try going that way with it. That is why scifi writers continually use belligerent aliens or zombies as antagonists.

is set in a dystopian cyberpunk universe. It is hard-hitting to the point of being sermonized. You won't find much like it out there. It was written with definite Christian themes. It is a clean-language book with violent action.
. . . In a dystopian cyberpunk 2215, the former US was fragmented into multiple small countries.
. . . People in the UN proxy state of Homeland are controlled by psychotropic drugs, corrupted education, propaganda and oppressive laws.
In this story . . .
. . . Computer hacking clones are trying to get rich no matter what they have to do.
. . . A garbage collector hates everything about his life and goes rogue.
. . . An entire strain of genetically-engineered children is to be culled because of an imperfection.
. . . A tyrannical government robot unit is led by a ruthless being hiding behind a synthetic presence.
. . . A clone couple is living off of the grid and expecting an illegal child.
. . . A series of androids vow to fight for the truth even to the point of war.
. . . And a boy asks, “Is God real?”
The Lucid series is a unique clean-language novel that has heavy hitting, brutally honest edgy Christian themes and some graphic action.

In Reality Calling, we are focused on hard-hitting transformative Christian fiction and non-fiction...reading and writing it. Your book could be right up my alley.
