Ambient	comment	Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Ambient is the debut novel of American cyberpunk writer Jack Womack. It was first published in 1987 and is the first in his Dryco series. Made up of six novels that are loosely related, the Dryco series follows the Machiavellian exploits of the eponymous corporation, or the people affected by them, in a dystopian version of New York City set in the 2030s. The overarching conflict is centered on the heads of Dryco, the corrupt Dryden family, who manipulate runaway climate change, social decay and ongoing economic instability in a bid to conquer the world.Seamus O'Malley is the bodyguard and assassin for Dryco's tyrannical CEO, Thatcher Dryden II. He's also in love with Dryden's mistress, the beautiful proxy named Avalon. After foiling an attempt on Dryden's life, O'Malley is roped into a murder plot by his boss. The target: Thatcher Dryden I, AKA the 'Old Man.' It turns out that Dryden Sr. is actively attempting to destroy the company's solvency by speculating in the Bronx's real estate. O'Malley is hesitant at first, but when Jr. offers him the option to elope abroad to Leningradnote The book was published in 1987. The city's name reverted to Saint Petersburg in 1991. with Avalon, O'Malley plays along. However, things go south when unforeseen circumstances cause the assassination attempt to fail. With Avalon by his side, O'Malley goes on the run into the heart of NYC, to seek shelter with his sister Enid and the vilified race of mutants known as 'Ambients'...Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Considered a cult classic in the cyberpunk community, Ambient introduced readers to an imaginatively shocking vision of a near-future world, replete with dashes of ultraviolence, disturbing social commentary and deviant sexuality. The novel has drawn comparisons to Anthony Burgess' A Clockwork Orange, especially in its usage of poetic Future Slang by Dryco and the Ambients.The other books (in publication order) are: Terraplane (1988), Heathern (1990), Elvissey (1993), Random Acts of Senseless Violence (1994), and Going, Going, Gone (2000).

Ambient / int_12dd1d4c	comment	Rape as Drama: O'Malley's sister Enid was gang raped by home invaders when she was just sixteen. The siblings took it upon themselves to avenge her trauma and kill the rapists when they come back for another attempt. This comes back into play later in climax when Alice wipes out most of Enid's memory by inducing her with Korsakov's Syndrome. Her brain will not retain any new memories and is forever trapped in the traumatic aftermath of that brutal gang rape. As the novel ends, it's not clear if Alice could or would recover Enid's original mental state.

Ambient / int_21d70919	type	Crapsack World
Ambient / int_21d70919	comment	Crapsack World: Where to begin? NYC is a decaying hot-bed of random violence by anyone to anyone. The Army Boys, conscripts as young as thirteen, go around causing massacres and waging war against entire neighborhoods on Dryco's orders. They even gang rape random women who happen to pass by their security checkpoints. There are deliberate incidents of road rage and civilians being done in by hit-and-run drivers, often for no reason at all. Trains are derailed and bombed by psychotic teenagers and entire roads are cordoned off, never to be repaired. The city's infrastructure is plagued by empty buildings with their structures randomly falling off and crushing civilians below or inside them. The media has pacified the masses with non-stop entertainment and news that features actual snuff on live television. Child protection laws have ceased and children are forced to work like adults, including being kept as child sex slaves by wealthy old men. And all of this is just a fraction of this grimdark setting. In the corporate and political spheres, Dryco controls everything. They control the economic, foreign and civil policies of the US government. As such, the police technically don't exist and the army serves as Dryco's own form of law enforcement, even if it means killing innocent civilians routinely. The Drydens even dabble in sex slavery and invite their friends to hunt migrant teens on their private estate. Despite a nuclear weapon-free world in the 21st century, there's a fresh Cold War between the US and Russia. World hunger is much worse than any other point in human history and the runaway global warming is causing mass flooding and desertification everywhere.

When it rains (and that happens a lot), NYC's streets are flooded with filthy water from the poorly maintained sewers. Dried clumps of excrement are swept up off the street during a cold spell and become a blizzard of falling shit, which the Ambients refer to as 'Le Muerta.' Dryden Sr. had started building a terribly maintained sea wall by the coast of New York in the hope of protecting his assets. He even dreams of living long enough to build a Venice-like city on top of the old NYC.

After being knocked out by Jimmy, O'Malley is taken to the Tombs beneath the estate where the Drydens' enemies are tortured and deformed by Alice, a supercomputer that can draw up any event from its memories. O'Malley is given permission by the Old Man to ask Alice any question. He discovers the truth about Avalon's childhood, his father's fate, and the murder of the Old Man's wife in relation to the Pax Atomica. This question infuriates the Old Man who tries to attack O'Malley but is subdued by him. Despite insisting that a failsafe is built into his body to set off the nuclear missiles on the world, the Old Man is shot by Avalon. Alice somehow prevents the nukes from going off and O'Malley and Avalon escape with Enid, who had her memory removed by Alice as punishment by Dryco.

Ambient / int_a5a6d7b3	comment	Mutants: The Ambients are this in varying degrees. It's thought that they were born from parents who survived a nuclear accident on Long Island. Completely isolated from NYC itself and feared by the public, the Ambients formed their own community, culture, language and a religion based on the 'Godness.' While some of them are 'lucky' enough to lack limbs or end up as dwarfs, many of them are so deformed to the point of having grotesque mutations that rival those from real-life disasters such as Chernobyl. However, regular people voluntarily choose to become Ambients as an expression of solidarity toward them. It's implied that O'Malley might be an Ambient himself since his ears are detachable. However, since Avalon's teeth were removed and replaced with mandatory fake ones, his ears could also be a cosmetic choice. Enid O'Malley, Seamus' older sister, is a voluntary Ambient. Standing at 6'3" like her younger brother, she had her head and eyebrows shaved clean and sharp spikes put in their place. Her breasts were also surgically removed. She regularly speaks to him in the Ambient Future Slang. In the book's climax, it turns out that they weren't products of the actual nuclear accident itself. In fact, their parents were given anti-radiation pills that deformed the fetuses during the mother's pregnancy. The Ambients' parents migrated from Long Island into the abandoned parts of the city to escape from being purged.
