'Cyberpunk 2077: NO_COINCIDENCE' sci-fi novel, set in the 'Cyberpunk 2077' universe launches today
After an anime series spin-off, the Cyberpunk 2077 franchise is expanding to another medium: books. Launching today is Cyberpunk 2077: NO_COINCIDENCE, a science-fiction thriller by Polish writer Rafał Kosik (and translated into English by CD PROJEKT RED’s English Adaptation Specialist Stefan Kiełbasiewicz), set in the same universe as the video game. The novel's synopsis is as follows:
NO_COINCIDENCE takes readers deep into the underworld of the dark future, giving them a visceral look into what it takes to survive in the brutal streets of Night City. Kosik, whose work has been compared to that of Brian Aldiss, Philip K. Dick, and Stanisław Lem, uses his sci-fi pedigree to full effect, weaving existential, profound personal questions into a gripping story that combines adrenaline-fueled, high-stakes action with multilayered corporate conspiracies and the role, significance, and limits of the individual. Through the eyes of Zor, Aya, and the rest of a deep cast of interconnected characters, readers get to observe the machinations of Night City up close, giving them a first-hand account of how futile it is to have dreams, aspirations, or the idea of free will in a city with no happy endings.
The English version of NO_COINCIDENCE features physical ($19 as paperback and $29 as hardcover), digital ($10), and audiobook versions. The latter comes with narration provided by American voice actress Cherami Leigh, who is also one of the voices of V, the main character of Cyberpunk 2077.
