Update:

Thanks everyone for participating in the giveaway! The giveaway is now closed, I hope you all enjoy the reading. :) As the number of participants was around the expected, I have sent you all a copy of the book!


Since I was a kid, I was obsessed with computers, technology, and books. Science fiction books, palpable technologies with surreal events, were my favorite addiction. I grew up drinking from this source, dreaming of writing my own stories one day. But growing up on the periphery I quickly came to understand it was not more than a dream, especially in Brazil. So, I was thrown into the nearest lane, jumping from technical support to software engineer.

Years flew by, and in the rush of day-to-day life, I ended up forgetting the essence that propelled me down this path. Goals, projects, codes, stress... blah, blah, blah. You know the deal, you took it too. However, after several (miracle) therapy sessions, I decided it was time to take a break from the command prompt and dive into Word. And, after many, many months, liters of coffee, a herniated disc, and a hefty dosage of ibuprofen, voilà, a book was born!

It is a cyberpunk story that speaks about work dehumanization, communities vs corporations and kicking the corporative ass.

Coincidetally, or not, the story connects with what we have experienced with Reddit and Lemmy, so I understood it would be fitting to conduct the book's giveaway on the Fediverse only!

Ghost Trigger is available on Kindle and Paperback, as well as other digital formats. It's a dive into passion, at the cost of a beer, and about three hours of your life.

I will be conducting the giveaway of 10 copies, in either:

  • Paperback (North America, Europe and Australia only)
  • Kindle
  • Epub

To participate, just comment the format you would like to receive!

The giveaway will begin tomorrow, and winners will be chosen randomly.
