Pattern Theory: The Activator

The world is a game. There are rules. Two teams. A scoreboard. Almost nobody knows. Darrick Preble didn't know either — not while grinding 80-hour weeks running a painting business, not while watching everyone who played it straight get crushed by everyone who didn't. Then he lost almost everything, and the rules finally became visible. Pattern Theory is the map he built from the wreckage. Right now you're running one of two algorithms — the Truth Algorithm or the Deceit Algorithm — and it's quietly deciding your income, your relationships, and whether you even finish this book. Read it once and it activates something that cannot be switched off.
