Off to Be the Wizard: Magic 2.0, Book 1 – Scott Meyer (AUDIOBOOK) Narrator – Luke Daniels – 28.11.24

Hmm, not sure what I made of this audiobook. The American narrator was a bit winey and annoying, as was the main character (maybe well cast narrator !?). The premise was that a small number of people throughout history have figured out that reality as we know it is just a matrix like computer programme and have attempted to manipulate the programme to their own ends. Our hero (!?) I forget his name now, tried putting lots of money into his own bank account which instantly alerted the evil authorities to his discovery. He escaped by travelling into medieval England (as you do) and seemingly as many before him did do, because there is a thriving community of wizards (people who have discovered the matrix and can manipulate it so it seems like they can do magic) in medieval Europe. Stuff happened, it ended, turned out it is the first in a series. I really don’t think I could be bothered continuing the series (although I didn’t hate it enough to give up halfway through). Gets good reviews, so lots of people seemingly did like it a lot (or maybe the author altered the matrix so it seems that way, lol). Not for me though.
