Description
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.

Reviews
An enjoyable read, well constructed and fun. True geeks will enjoy the inside jokes and cultural references that only a child of sci-fi era can appreciate. Or maybe even, tolerate.
The story moved well, but a bit transparently. I found that there wasn't much in the assortment of twists and turns that came as a surprise to me. In the end, I like a bit more depth under my fiction, but if you're looking for a cotton candy romp through one geek's Merlin fantasy, this is your ticket.
