Nothing is as it seems in the city of Duplicity. In a far distant
future, a surge of advancements in biotechnology brings "cyborg"
beings into the world as we know it. Through bigotry and
selfishness, the world quickly erupts into chaos, bringing a short
but brutal war between the humans who deify their purity, and the
cyborgs who seek to unify the world under their technology. One
hundred years later, the war is long past. Humans are almost
extinct, and the world is populated by genetically engineered
beings called Drives; a blend of biotechnology and machinery that
are each created for a specific purpose. Vera is a Search Engine in
the gritty city of Duplicity-- a city with a thriving Drive society
underground and a wasteland of ruins run by criminals above. She's
a Private Investigator for this efficient metal world, and her life
revolves around finding information of all kinds. Her latest job is
supposed to be an easy one, but when her team is attacked by an
assassin and her client is murdered, she's compelled to get to the
bottom of whatever's going on, and begins a spiral down into the
corrupt world of Duplicity's past. Working with her partners, Boots
and Adonis, Vera searches for the answers she's physically driven
to find. This journey leads her to a beautiful red-head with a
secret, and all the danger that comes with it. Follow Vera's
investigation, along with the intertwining lives of other citizens
of Duplicity. A Server with dreams of a better world, a human
refugee longing for safety, a high class Technician with an
unhealthy addiction, and an office worker struggling to save the
woman he knows he shouldn't care about. Together, the stories in "A
Study in Steel" explore the essence of humanity and desperation
that lingers in this world of machines.
