Brief Author Bio:

One day Cameo was walking
by the banks of a raging river.
She was reading the Diamond Sutra,
and stepped dangerously near the shoreline.
A passing monk came up to her and said,
"Please be careful, or you will drown."
Cameo replied,
"The Diamond Sutra will save me".
The monk said,
"The Diamond Sutra has never saved anyone."
He grabbed the scroll from her
and threw it in the river.
Cameo, furious, jumped in after it,
and with much difficulty brought it back to
shore.
The monk said,
"On the other hand,
everyone saves the Diamond Sutra."

Synopsis: Neuropoli

In a coal-powered Aztec Empire, a young idealistic revolutionary stubles across a dream-inducing drug which spurs her into conflict with a charismatic politician on the rise with the help of a tomboyish female mechanic and her welding gear, culminating in a heroic sacrifice that no one will ever remember.
