84 K by Claire North

In a near-future city dominated by a ruthless gig economy and pervasive data-driven surveillance, a resourceful fixer makes a living buying, selling and refurbishing other people’s profiles and reputations as tradable commodities. When a risky assignment to resurrect a vanishing life pulls them deeper into the opaque markets of identity and value, they confront the human cost of a system that quantifies worth, exploits the vulnerable, and blurs the line between survival and complicity.
