Something is seriously wrong with the world, but who's going to believe a part time day trader, game obsessed man with a penchant for seeing patterns in the world? Me, that's who. The main character, known simply as K, knows he's an unreliable narrator. He isn't sure he can believe his memories or even if they are memories. He's been on the periphery of an underground game nearly his whole life, his obsession has caused mental and physical breakdowns. When K is approached by a man who he believes has won the game in the past, who tells him the game is broken and the world is coming to an end, what is he supposed to do?

I really enjoyed the teasing out of clues and the "trust no one" vibe of the story. You may think you've already done the follow the clues, save the world game thing, but this is truly a new spin. I haven't listened to the pod cast the book is based on, so don't think you have to either to enjoy the story. Engrossing and fun, it was the perfect kick off to the summer read!
