Rafał Kosik’s novel is set in the universe of the bestselling game Cyberpunk 2077, created by the Polish studio CD Projekt Red. It’s being published simultaneously in the United States, the United Kingdom and Poland.

Six losers, on the face of it ordinary people are blackmailed and forced to carry out an impossible heist. They don’t know each other and they don’t know what they’re supposed to steal. We gradually discover who they really are: a former soldier, a nightclub dancer, a corporate negotiator, a six-fingered surgeon, an office worker with dreams of being a gangster, and a teenage nerd. In the shadows of grim neighbourhoods and the bright lights of the luxury tower blocks of Night City they face down brutal criminals whose bodies have been modified with implants, ruthless corporations, and corrupt police.

No Coincidence is a page-turner, an SF thriller full of twists. Rafał Kosik combines cyberpunk with romance and thrills and carries us into the future, where the borders between humans and technology are blurred. He serves up all of today’s hot topics: the dangers of AI, escaping from reality into virtual worlds, the exploration of the limits of human cognition. Kosik shows us that in a world dominated by technology, threatened by war and ecological disasters, a great need for intimacy and love lies dormant inside people.

Cyberpunk 2077: No Coincidence has been published simultaneously by Orbit US and Orbit UK (Hachette), and in Poland by Powergraph.
