The Black Heart of Paradise

Publisher's blurb: Casinos encrust a refugee Planetary Ring of refuse surrounding a small freighter, a ring known by a telling - and not so telling - title: the Strip. Here, horror links in to tech's alienating aspect. It builds. It rends. Protections drip updates. Spinning wheels load mass care tables. Wires eject from wrists. Biceps bloat like bagpipes. Be you, make do.
