Neon Cavalier

Neon Cavalier is a dystopian fiction short story series outlining the social and economic collapse of the United States, just as the world dodges a global chemical warfare scenario. In I Don't Recall That, a pharmaceutical company develops a new drug that helps corrupt companies erase employees' memories so that they can survive subpoenas. In Truth and Transport, a town implements mandatory polygraphs in its hiring process and builds one of the world's top transportation companies, only to be defeated by an unsuspecting competitor that hacks their system. In The Society of Toasters, the most resistant character of this series falls prey to brainwashing from a pharma-induced economic cult. In Dust Settlement, Denise discovers her town's confinement to the city walls is part of a cover-up to fuel a monopoly on the Western states' agricultual industry.
