Great cover art, compelling title, intriguing premise, very reasonable price.

I love it. Fun, nice, life, youths, beautiful. I’m all for it!

Primer (2004). “The permutations were endless.”

I strongly agree that 12 Monkeys (1995) is similar.

Brick (2005) for the setting.

A Scanner Darkly (2006) for the mood.

I think they meant the sub where life is treated like a game, a very poorly designed game (almost as if there was no Designer, just people).

Things like, “I’m level 18, should I spec my character into the biochem, robotics, or software guild?”

Or “What’s the cheat code for an affordable surgery?”

You get the idea. Life’s a game. And it sucks. Stupid devs.
