Why to Read: | A unique take on the video game sci-fi thriller, this manuscript’s impressive juxtaposition of the digital and analog bring a grounded reality and “irl” stakes to a limitless virtual world. By giving players the sole power to change the future and save the world, the narrative brings a breath of fresh air to a stale genre. The time travel and artificial intelligence elements add a necessary prescience to the events of the story, while the manuscript is steeped in a deep understanding and love of the history of video games. Strong writing, cinematic action and believable dialogue make this a breathtaking adventure at an enormous scale. |
