Why Read 'Into the BeanStalk?'
Into the BeanStalk is a cyberpunk retelling of Jack and the Beanstalk set in a corrupt megacity where the corporations live in a utopia in the clouds.
Jack was born missing an arm and a leg, a shut-in tech nerd whose family is drowning in medical debt and corporate fine print. When a betrayal and a catastrophic cyberattack fry her neural implants, Jack starts seeing an impossible column of light stretching from the slums up to the glittering corporate city in the sky.
This is a story about disability and rage, found family and bad choices, and what it costs to challenge a system designed to grind you down. If you like fairy tales twisted into neon-drenched rebellions, sarcastic underdogs, and high-stakes heists against sky-dwelling elites, Into the BeanStalk is for you.
