Hong Kong Interior is a cyberpunk-fantasy novel cycle by Liem Chatjellis. Twelve books, three seasons, one ending. The first book is The Lift That Wasn't.
The premise
The Opening of 2031 made supernatural entities measurable. The Open Compact of 2034 gave them legal personhood, signed contracts, priestly boards, and the right to be sued in Domain Court. The Eight Houses are the registered ones. The Ninths are not. The crews are the people in the gaps.
What this is, and isn't
This is original work. It is not in the world of Shadowrun, Cyberpunk 2077, Neuromancer, Ghost in the Shell, Blade Runner, or Altered Carbon. The cyberpunk furniture you'd expect is here — neon, rain, augmentation, corporate hegemony, hacking — and the genre conventions have been honored. The specifics belong to this universe.
