Eddie Dovigi presents ScrubberScrubber is a cyberpunk, neo-noir about a young woman, Elly, who is a freelance "scrubber" --a hacker that receives anonymous commissions to illegally delete watermarks on AI-generated media. When her smartdevice pings with a gig that seems too good to be true, she quickly realizes she may be in over her head.
The book takes place in the alleyways of an urban metropolis, Demos, that hums with neon pink, green, and blue at night. Elly connects with a few characters throughout her mission, including Lance, leader of the werewolf sect, "misanthropic lycanthropes". Also, the immaculately dressed, Dan Dan, who is like a living and breathing porcelain doll. But Elly isn't taking any chances or pulling any punches, she is sure to leave a trail of recordings in her wake in case the long arm of the law, or worse, the eyes that seem to lurk in the shadows, threaten to put a stop to her at any moment. In the end, these recordings may be Elly's only hope.
