Overview

The year is 2181. While the rest of the world is busy having their brains drained by multi-planetary corporations, Brandon Prescott is obsessed with a time when ""cloud storage"" meant a box of floppy disks. He's a retro-nerd more concerned with his refurbished Nintendo Power Glove and his VHS collection than climbing the corporate ladder at ECHO. But after becoming ""Employee of the Month,"" Brandon wins a prize that's more than just a plaque: a trip back in time with his eccentric boss, Mr. Fons. It's the ultimate perk-until Brandon discovers the fine print. A giant asteroid carrying an unknown virus is moments away from crashing into Earth, and his evil CEO isn't planning a vacation; he's planning to ensure the apocalypse hits its mark for his own personal gain. Now, a guy who'd much rather be at home playing Mega Man 2 is the only thing standing between humanity and a corporate-engineered disaster. In a race against time and his own boss, Brandon has to find a way to save the world-and the woman he loves-before it really is Game Over. For fans of Ready Player One and The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, NEON BLACK is a satirical, retro-fueled journey through a future that desperately needs to be rebooted.
