GIG PIGS #1 CALIBAN'S DREAM

The year is 2085; the bastards have won it all and you don't own a thing.

Not your home, not your health, not your privacy, not your sanity. But you can rent them.

Welcome to the gig economy.

After decades of brutal austerity and a growing billionaire class, the state has been hollowed out to its gory extreme; the Metropolitan police force, cannibalised bt corporate tech giants. Enter the "gig pigs": freelance, gig-working cops chasing five-star reviews and whatever pay they can to keep the lights on.

So-called 'Gig Pig' DS Dennis Harker receives a high-priority notifaction on his UberPeace app; a standard case of AI-induced pyschosis, it would seem. But it soon becomes apparrent to Dennis that this gig is more than he'd bargained for, slowly unraveling into an occult conspiracy beyond his grasp.

Hand-drawn in pen & ink, Gig Pigs Part 1: Caliban's Dream is a descent into an all but dead world, haunted by futures rotted on the vine. A world not worth fighting for, full of desperate people trying to protect what little stakes they have in it.
