W.J. Sam (Wah Ju Sam) is a speculative fiction author known for weaving intricate cyberpunk worlds and exploring the intersections of technology, society and humanity.
With a background in big tech and over five years of experience in the games industry, Sam's work reflects a deep understanding of digital landscapes and a passion for storytelling rooted in science fiction and fantasy. Her creative vision is also influenced by a love of anime, which infuses her narratives with dynamic energy and stylistic flair.
Sam's debut, Neo Chongqing Glitch (2024), serves as a prequel novella to the Metaverse Detectives series. Set in the sprawling cyberpunk metropolis of Chongqing in 2042, the story follows Lei Yijun, a young police officer tasked with reopening an unsolved accident from six years earlier.
As he delves deeper into the case, aided by a cryptic journalist and shadowed by a novel that seems eerily prescient, Lei grapples with evolving narratives in a world dominated by metaverses and advanced technology. With its sharp dialogue, intricate world-building and blend of mystery and suspense, the novella pays homage to classic detective tropes while introducing a bold, futuristic twist.
The Metaverse Detectives series promises a thrilling exploration of crime in a hyper-connected world, where detectives such as She Lo Ke and Dr Qu face unprecedented challenges in the neo-era of 2048. Drawing comparisons to Sherlock Holmes and Cyberpunk 2077, the series blends metaphysical science fiction with suspense.
