SINless is a series of Cyberpunk books by K.C. Alexander. They follow the adventures of street mercenary, Riko, who is living in the ruins of what was formerly America. It is a setting where cybernetically enhanced Runners live off the grid without their SIN codes and survive through various acts of crime.Cybernetic enhancements aren't without their own dangers, though, as there's a condition where the nanites that allow them to remain in your body go beserk. This results in them spreading like cancer and eventually consuming the body, reanimating it as a cyborg without a soul called a Necrotech.Riko has no desire to engage with any of the corporations or Dirty Cop authority figures who rule the world but only survive by her wits. Unfortunately, she has a tendency to offend her fellow criminals with her attitude too. As such, she has no allies and a very bad reputation with every person she deals with. That's fine, she prefers to do it her way anyway.There are two books in the series: Necrotech Nanoshock | |

Hotter and Sexier: There's a lot more sex in Nanoshock than there is in Necrotech but it tends to border on Fan Disservice. | |

Hero with Bad Publicity | |
| Sinless / int_313e9485 | comment |
Hero with Bad Publicity: All of Riko's street cred is gone at the start of Nercotech. She has no idea why and it's part of her motivation to investigate her Laser-Guided Amnesia. It actually gets worse with Nanoshock when it's believed she's sold out her former partners to be turned into necrotech. | |

Cybernetics Eat Your Soul | |
| Sinless / int_533bc7ae | comment |
Cybernetics Eat Your Soul: Going into "Nanoshock" and becoming "Necrotech" is a very real danger. All humans have an extensive amount of nanites, and many will have further bionics, with cybernetics enthusiasts really pushing the boundaries. Unfortunately, humans have a limited "tech threshold", after which the body can't handle all this energy-intensive hardware and shuts down. Plus, even if are you well below the tech threshold, if the nanites in your body exhaust their energy supply then they will start to break down the host body for energy. This is going in to "Nanoshock" and if the person dies, the corpse becomes animated by the nanites and the resulting high-tech zombie becomes known as "Necrotech". | |
