Hard Reset — Jonathan Yanez

Hard Reset is a fast-paced, unpredictable, and clever take on the LitRPG genre, blending beloved sci-fi and apocalyptic themes to create an intricate new reality. In this world, life begins in a coffin, cars float, a good ray gun is your best friend, and computer displays are activated with a flick of the wrist. It all feels so real, so right … and it all feels so wrong.Some things remain the same in every reality: People with power crave more power. You’re free to live your life as long as you don’t challenge the status quo.Tom doesn’t like the status quo. Never has.Never will.With a smart-mouthed computer program, a quick-shooting bounty hunter, and a pissed-off stranger as his allies, Tom takes on a corrupt, authoritarian government.All the while, in another world, someone is studying his every move and thought. Tom may hold the key to humanity’s future.If he can survive the game … without being reset.
