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.

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.

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

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
