From the Ruins - Zero System Keith Silvas

Five hundred years have passed since the Cataclysm: a nuclear holocaust that rendered Earth toxic and uninhabitable. Android Raymond-tz48 is the only occupant of a forgotten city. He spends his days serving the memory of his long deceased masters, pondering the meaning of his existence, and wondering if life remains elsewhere on the planet. One day he reinterprets the programming that has kept him imprisoned in a cycle of meaningless servitude and sets out in search of life and a new master. What he finds is not the romanticized group of survivors in a peaceful society he had hoped for, but something far more sinister. Omega Seki, the final outpost of human civilization, is a cyberpunk metropolis steeped in vice and run by a corrupt government. Now Raymond must decide whether following his programming to serve society means becoming a cog in the wheel of tyranny or standing against it.
