Null Witness is a serialized cyberpunk thriller set in 2035 Los Angeles: technically authentic hacking, a literary character arc. Free to read. Pick your way in.
Three doors. (Well, three you can see.)
01 / Just read it
No context required. A federal interrogation room, a lamp that won't stay put, and a narrator who's only going to tell it once. Begin where the story begins.
02 / Here for the world
How it ended, and what got built after. The collapse, the Pacific Compact, the Glass, and NovaCoin, the currency that can't forget. None of it had to be invented.
03 / Here for the tech
The hacking is real, and it drives the story. Practitioner explainers on the actual techniques behind the fiction: JWT alg:none, Kerberoasting, DNS tunneling. Written for people who check.
Act Zero — the opening movement.
