Stratum

In the towering city of Stratum, society is divided by class and controlled through JikoTech's vast network of automation and surveillance. Jambo, a nineteen-year-old graffiti artist from the neglected lower sectors, is pulled into a hidden conflict after crossing paths with those who know the truth behind the city's carefully maintained order -- a former JikoTech employee turned fugitive, a brilliant pharmacist, and a fiercely capable martial artist. At the center of it all is Seiji Jikoma, JikoTech's founder, who believes humanity's unpredictability is a flaw that can only be solved through total systemic control. As Jambo is drawn deeper into the conspiracy, surrounded by new connections and a budding relationship, he must decide what freedom is worth in a city built to eliminate chaos.
