In the 2070s, the climate has gotten worse. Global corporations embrace AI while human rights are trashed. Nyssa Persson escapes three years of forced work as a doxy in Tokyo and comes to Dog Breakfast — a co-op of athletes that excel at martial arts and espionage.
Told in two interwoven timelines, Nyssa undergoes tough years of training. Then she undertakes a daring raid that puts everything she's learned to the test. "Woke" is equal parts espionage thriller and character study. Read it once for the story; read it twice to catch everything the co-op stands for.
