* CyberneticsEatYourSoul: Going into "Nanoshock" and becoming "Necrotech" is a very real danger. All humans have an extensive amount of nanites, and many will have further bionics, with cybernetics enthusiasts really pushing the boundaries. Unfortunately, humans have a limited "tech threshold", after which the body can't handle all this energy-intensive hardware and shuts down. Plus, even if are you well below the tech threshold, if the nanites in your body exhaust their energy supply then they will start to break down the host body for energy. This is going in to "Nanoshock" and if the person dies, the corpse becomes animated by the nanites and the resulting [[ArtificialZombie high-tech zombie]] becomes known as "Necrotech".

[=SINless=] is a series of {{Cyberpunk}} books by K.C. Alexander. They follow the adventures of street mercenary, Riko, who is living in the ruins of what was formerly America. It is a setting where cybernetically enhanced Runners live off the grid without their SIN codes and survive through various acts of crime.
Cybernetic enhancements aren't without their own dangers, though, as there's a condition where the nanites that allow them to remain in your body go beserk. This results in them spreading like cancer and eventually consuming the body, reanimating it as a cyborg without a soul called a Necrotech.
There are two books in the series:
* ''Necrotech''
* ''Nanoshock''
----
* DatingCatwoman: With Riko as Catwoman to Gregory's Batman. She's a Runner, he's a Cop.
* DepravedBisexual: Parodied as Riko would describe herself as depraved and she's also bisexual. The two aren't linked, though.
* FateWorseThanDeath: What Riko considers becoming a Necrotech to be. She's not wrong.
* TheFundamentalist: Purists are this, believing that cybernetics are an abomination. They can't reject nanotechology completely, though, because it's necessary for survival.
* LaserGuidedAmnesia: Riko has no idea how she got to be captured or operated on at the start of ''Necrotech.''
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: This is what Riko immediately goes on well ''before'' she discovers what happened to Nanji.
* MercyKill: What Riko believes is necessary for her to give to Nanji after she discovers she's been corrupted into a Necrotech.
* NaughtyNun: The female gang members that Riko likes screwing with (in both ways) in ''Nanoshock.'' It's their theme.
* YouKilledMyFather: More like girlfriend but Nanji is one of the few of Riko's lovers that she actually cared about.
