About this listen
An io9 Can't Miss Science Fiction and Fantasy title in March 2014.
Martin Banks is just a normal guy who has made an abnormal discovery: he can manipulate reality, thanks to reality being nothing more than a computer program. With every use of this ability, though, Martin finds his little “tweaks” have not escaped notice. Rather than face prosecution, he decides instead to travel back in time to the Middle Ages and pose as a wizard.
What could possibly go wrong?
An American hacker in King Arthur’s court, Martin must now train to become a full-fledged master of his powers, discover the truth behind the ancient wizard Merlin…and not, y’know, die or anything.

Ryan "Quicksave" Romano is an eccentric adventurer with a strange power: he can create a save-point in time and redo his life whenever he dies. Arriving in New Rome, the glitzy capital of sin of a rebuilding Europe, he finds the city torn between mega-corporations, sponsored heroes, super-powered criminals, and true monsters. It's a time of chaos, where potions can grant the power to rule the world and dangers lurk everywhere.

Story4 out of 5 stars 94
It seemed the unthinkable had happened. Someone had actually targeted the Ghalian, an order of assassins known and feared across the systems. It was madness. Only a fool would go after the likes of them. But, it seemed, the galaxy had no shortage of fools. Retaliation most bloody was in order, and one man stood ready to spring into action. Hozark was his name, and he was no ordinary man. He was a Master Ghalian, an assassin skilled in the ways of death. Practical, mechanical, magical, to him it made no difference.

Story5 out of 5 stars 189
Accidentally murdered by a cleric in another universe during a botched resurrection, Arnold, a semi-pro gamer, wakes upon an altar to find himself incarnated into the overweight body of a farmer who could have been his fatter twin. He’s not the hero. He’s not the villain. He’s certainly not the chosen one who is there to save the world. He’s a clerical error. It could be a bad joke, but apparently, it happens so often that they have a standard procedure for returning you.

Fun read
A fun story of slightly silly time travelling. I find the Phillip voice rather grating though and a bit too hammy for the character. An enjoyable listen.

Good story, but predictable
Maybe because I've read a lot of fantasy power trips, but it was too predictable

A hilarious adventure and a light read
This book is funny and well thought out. There are some minor technical and physical problems but Scott Meyer clearly thought through how this would work and came up with an easy talking point for every issues. It's fast paced, really fun and very funny. Great for a light read. #Audible1

Great performance, good story.
The performance and story were great, but some descriptions (missing explanations) can be confusing.

Great beginning, disappointing end.
I really loved the concept of this book up until about the midway point. The jokes got dull, repetitive and confusing, and the characters predictable and non-likeable. I still found it enjoyable for the most part and would recommend it for teens or adults that are bored and enjoy over the top jokes and action.

Kind of dull
A great performance but the story never evokes excitement or really fleshes out on the premis of life being a computer simulation.

Get this now
By itself, the story is ridiculous and crazy in all the right ways. The performance by Luke Daniels puts it on the next level.
Absolutely amazing. The voices and timing are great. I immediately bought the rest of the audiobooks.

Great story and world
The world Scott Meyer has created is wonderful, I loved the entire book. The Magic 2.0 series is up to 5 books now (19 SEP 18). I even bought other books Scott wrote because this book was so good. #Audible1
