Overview

THE SYSTEM HAS CRASHED. WELCOME TO THE REBOOT.Adrian Shaw spent lifetimes mastering the code of the universe. He built cities of light, rewrote the laws of physics, and challenged the gods of the simulation. But when he pulled the plug to stop the Stratum, he didn't just end the war. He ended history. Now, Adrian and Mira are awake in a nightmare of their own making: The Paleolithic Era. The gleaming spires of the city are gone. The digital network is silent. Stripped of their technology, they have been reduced to a primitive state where complex thought is almost impossible and survival is the only objective. They are no longer Architects. They are little more than animals. But they are not alone in the wilderness. An old enemy has survived the reset. Bianchi has risen as a brutal God-King, the ""Wolf in the Valley,"" using fear and superstition to enslave the scattered tribes of the new wilderness. While Adrian struggles to light a fire in the mud, Bianchi is building an empire of blood, turning the simulation's reset into a permanent prison. To save the future, Adrian must rediscover the deep human past. Guided by a mysterious traveler named Kael, he must access the ""Hall of Records"" through the only interface left: altered states of consciousness. With Bianchi's army marching to exterminate them, Adrian and Mira must attempt an impossible engineering feat. Using only willow saplings, vines, and the ancient chemistry of the earth, they must weave a Tesseract-a geometric anchor for their minds, capable of rotating their consciousness out of the 3D prison of their own making. It is a race against time and a hellbent warlord who wants to be God. From the mud of the Stone Age to the blinding truth of Base Reality, Simulacra: RETURN is the mind-bending non-dual conclusion to the trilogy. The game is over. It's time to wake up. PERFECT FOR FANS OF BLAKE CROUCH, TED CHIANG, AND NEAL STEPHENSON.
