Year 2197.

Earth is suffering from the consequences of an environmental catastrophe. Cities the size of continents are drowning in a toxic industrial fog.

Max Bourne is a typical teenager. Like billions of other people, he is forced to live in the protective shell of the individual life support module. His habitat is the virtual Layer. But one day, circumstances force the young man to leave the in-mode. He has no idea that fate will lead him through unimaginable hardships, bring him face to face with military AIs, and teach him to survive in the distant Outlands.

He will come to understand that the sum of all technologies, possessed by the four leading corporations of Earth, can either open the way to the stars or destroy human civilization.

first off let me say that I love the author's writing. I would say his Phantom server series is among one of my very favorites!! this book just kind of hops all over the place you're not so much following one character. it almost feels like watching a documentary. and to call it a lit RPG is almost offensive because it was extremely anti lit RPG.

pretty disappointed, couldn't seem to get into it.

Love the huge series by Livadny in the original Russian. Hope the other translations are just as good.

The series spans nearly 2000 years of space exploration, brutal wars, alien contact, great discoveries, etc. AI plays a major role. Anyone who loves mechs will enjoy the future books.

Great series!

it's well written but the transition between characters could have been better. There are alot of character so you have to be alert during transitions.

Alright, good read

I was a little confused at first but then came together in the end. A lot of moving pieces in this book but was very good.

A little all over the place

I am a third of the way through the book, and about to abandon it. The MC so far is Max, sells his family down the river to make money that works, till a skirt distracts him and he loses everything, leaving his family with no home, no future, nothing. The boy is not worth investing any emotion in. At best he is an example of a smart idiot, comes up with a skim to make money, and it worked, but beyond that rocks show more intelligences. I will finish this book, but oh my god this boy is not worth my time.

Edit: Well the MC became less of an idiot an moved on to a mcguffin that tumbles from places to place some how in the middle of important events. The book is boring and tedious and in the end not even really about the MC. He literal is a plot device with a god awful personality. I finished the book, but I am not going to torture myself with the rest of the series to see if it gets any better. This whole book could have been explained as a single chapter in the next book and probably been worth more.

The MC is a straight up idiot
