The LA Dystopian Duo - Jude Lucas

THE LA DYSTOPIAN DUO

Books One and Two of the Dystopian LA Trilogy

Near-future Los Angeles. Morality has been outsourced to algorithms, fame is a death sentence, and collapse is branded, monetised and livestreamed. This is the opening half of Jude Lucas’s trilogy — a stylish, brutal descent into the scorched heart of the city of angels.

All the Time — Book One

Elliot Voss was born for the spotlight, until the spotlight turned on him. Lila Kane built an empire from pixels and perfection, until it all burned. In a city ruled by AI-driven morality mobs and VirtueVerse trials, their only shot at survival is faking a love story the world will believe. In a world where desire is illegal and truth is fatal, what happens when the performance gets too real?

Vicious, seductive, and viciously aware. All the Time rips the mask off fame, power and performative virtue.

Digital Drifters — Book Two

In the fire-gutted bones of a Malibu mansion, a new faith rises. Kai, their leader, preaches freedom from the algorithm. Skye, a TikTok defector, wants a hit of transcendence. They worship a glowing MacBook. The MacBook, it turns out, worships blood.

Digital Drifters is an apocalyptic glitch-fable about tech, belief, and the seduction of collapsing systems.
