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.
