Altered Carbon and Clockwork meet Apocalypse Now in this Aurealis and Dietmar Award-winning cyber-noir, exploring issues of national memory, ethnic identity, and historical truth—intelligent, driven, and dynamic.
Linh Thi Vu was born in Vietnam, raised in Australia, and has always felt like an outsider. Now she's a gangster in Chinese-occupied Hanoi, living in the stuffy, paranoid alleys of the Thirty-Six Streets district.
Through her tenacity and courage, Linh has earned a place in Hanoi's criminal hierarchy under the leadership of Bao Nguyen, who taught her how to fight and survive. After all, the streets never offer second chances.
Meanwhile, the residents of Hanoi are engrossed in the gripping neurogame "Good Fight"—a simulation of the US-Vietnam War. When one of the game's developers arrives in Hanoi in search of his friend, Linh finds herself embroiled in the vast conspiracies of the neon gods: megacorporations backed by powerful politicians who seek to control her city.
Linh confronts the core principles of unjust wars. She must choose: family, country, or gang. Blood, truth, or redemption. But no choice in the "Thirty-Six Streets" district is easy.
