Publisher's Summary

“Prescott is one brilliant dude.” (JJ Abrams)

It’s 1993, and Jay and Colin are small-town geeks. Senior year is nearly over, and they’re still as unpopular as ever.

Everything changes when they discover a disk containing a computer program called The Build, a pixel-perfect replica of their hometown. As the boys tweak its code, they discover they can bend the laws of reality. With godlike power, they react as any teenager would: hacking high school to make it more awesome.

But someone - or something - is watching. And as their friends and neighbors begin acting increasingly strange, they buckle in for an epic battle. Jay and Colin must pull out all their cheat codes to save themselves, their town - and the very fabric of existence.

seemed like a good idea

loved the synopsis and how it was such a golden time frame in my youth , there were so many cultural references to time frame on every moment it took away from story- seemed like author was trying to hard instead of letting the story naturally unfold .
