“A gem of a book with a killer hook & just enough line to set it & reel in its prey (you, the reader)… I predict this is going to be in contention for a lot of folks’ end-of-year lists. I know it’ll be on mine.” – Dani Finn
Dr. Jess Stockton is a scientist with high goals and even higher ambitions. Through her efforts, she has created a device based around consent which has revolutionised society and drawn no small amount of attention both good and bad.
Roh is a freerunning messenger for the underground with the solitary goal of survival. When tested in the lab for the consent device, she displays a very odd set of biometrics which should be impossible in humans.
Machines of Consent follows two trans lesbians in a sci-fi adventure as they find each other and try to escape an oppressive force bent to use them for nefarious ends. Both cyberpunk and spicy blockbuster, it’s a thrill ride from start to finish.
