reboot | Chosen by the New York Times and Washington Post as one of the best books of the year • A loud, sharply intelligent satire of Hollywood, toxic fandom, and our chronic cyberculture, telling the story of a neglected actor seeking to revive the hit TV series that catapulted him to fame as a teen. “A performance full of intelligence and precision.” - The New York Times Book Review. David Kreider is a forgotten former actor. A former child actor on the popular teen drama series Reef Beach, he now juggles his new roles as a neglectful father, a recovering alcoholic, and an occasional video game voice actor. But when Grace, his ex-wife and former co-star, summons him to Los Angeles, he suddenly sees an opportunity to revive his life - not just the series that made him famous, but also his monotonous life. But Hollywood, the Internet, and a divided nation have other plans, and as David drowns in drink, he soon realizes a bitter truth: This seemingly innocent revival of an old Buffy series may be the spark that ignites a nation gripped by far-right conspiracy theories, climate catastrophe, and mass violence. "Reboot" is a wild, contemplative comedy for our age, an era of excessive browsing of pessimistic news and nostalgia for the past. It's a tale of former teen stars, struggling parents, extreme Internet pioneers, and eccentric mythical creatures, for everyone who has looked back on their lives and wished - even for a moment - they could hit the reset button.
