Doomware

the long version

It is a future time, when brain-based cybernetic computers are all but universal throughout humanity. A computer virus of unprecedented potency has swept across the globe, laying waste to technology and leaving half the world's population dead. The other half are neither dead nor alive - they are zombies, reanimated not by witchcraft, but by the virus infecting their brainware. David Lawney - an acybernetic, whose body inexplicably rejected brainware as a child - has survived the disaster in a London now teeming with horrors. Haunted by memories of society's mistreatment of his kind, living in constant fear of a gruesome death, somehow David must find the strength and courage needed to protect a fellow survivor, a young boy, whose existence may hold the key to the only remaining record of all human history.
