Cover Reveal: Digital Extremities by Adam Bassett
Blurb:
A collection of eight stories, Digital Extremities shines a spotlight on ordinary people in a callous yet hopeful future. Set across small towns and remote islands, where neon flickers against old buildings and oaks, this collection paints a unique view of a traditionally cyberpunk setting.
In 2089, a woman miscarries and seeks a way to find peace amidst overwhelming grief. Years later, a young man must find a way to pay rent outside of his job at the glassblowing studio. A pair of students, excited to go to college, install new hardware that promises to improve their cognitive functions. A private investigator searches for a missing child who has a reputation for embarking on risky adventures. Each tale is shaped by love, loss, and perseverance, weaving a vision of life outside of the megacities.

Trigger Warnings: Although I would consider Digital Extremities appropriate for most ages, it does contain some content and references to events that may be off-putting to some readers:
Limited on-page examples of alcohol abuse, mental health complications, violence, being trapped underground, and death.
A few off-page references to miscarriage, terrorism, and death.
