Cyber Red: Hacker in the Hood

Cyber Red: Hacker in the Hood

By Robin Wickens
A Tech-Noir Fairy Tale for Readers 10+

📍What if Red Riding Hood was a street-smart hacker… and the wolf was a malicious AI trying to control reality itself?

Welcome to Neo-Lycanth, where corporations control truth, AIs run the city, and stories are stored in encrypted memory banks.

In the digital underworld, Red is a legend. Cloaked in code and courage, she delivers secret messages for The Hood—a rebel network fighting for free will in a world full of firewalls.

But when she’s tasked with delivering a powerful data shard to her AI “Granny,” Red becomes the target of W.O.L.F.: a terrifying virus bent on turning the world into an algorithm of control.

As reality begins to fracture, Red must journey through corrupted data forests, glitch-ridden memories, and the heart of the AI hive to uncover a truth even she wasn’t programmed for.

🧠 A fast-paced sci-fi retelling of a classic tale—with clever coding, rogue AIs, and a heroine rewriting her own fate.

Perfect For:

• Fans of sci-fi, cyberpunk, and classic fairy tales with a twist
