Publisher's summary

"You owe it to yourself to experience this audio odyssey birthed in the fertile mind of Stan Lee as he propels the listener into a digital sidereal of past, present and future.” (Roy Thomas)

A brand-new audio event set in the Audible and New York Times best-selling Alliances universe of legendary creator Stan Lee, performed by fan favorite Wil Wheaton.

Biohacker Olivia Park is obsessed with an emerging mystery within Oz, the online portal created by alien technology. What she finds is a primitive xenobot, Eno, who takes her on a mind-bending trip through time that begins as the Berlin Wall is falling, and takes her back to the origins of the modern internet and the fall of a digital Atlantis created by her father, Wesley Park, and entrepreneur William Ackerson.

A New Reality expands Stan Lee’s final science fiction universe in new and unexpected ways, exploring the early global computing boom of the 1990s through the eyes of two well-meaning visionaries whose innovations introduce the world to the promise, power, and perils of connectivity - and whose original sins could destroy it all.

Engaging Sci-Fi

It’s an amazing story that will keep you on the edge of your seat! If you are a Trekkie you’ll especially love it! The story will remind you of one of their storylines!

Good story Line

A little hard to get the characters lined up at first but they bring it together for a nice beginning or prequel for things to come

Fires the imagination

Keeping a steady pace it had more twists and turns than a labyrinth that kept me guessing right up until the end with an excellent narrator I've enjoyed for decades.

Quick to develop. Simple yet thoughtful

What is it to know our parents. To frame our reality and our personality around what we think we know about them.

Imaginative

So much sci-fi is consists of a handful of plots. This story is not. I would love for it to be made into a good movie. If you’re a fan of sci-fi or Stan Lee, as I am, I think you may like this story.

interesting

what an amazing twist on science, technology, and development. it's a scary look at the future if it's crossed by technology beyond mankind. very good book similar to the dawn of science fiction.

A great short listen

It took me a while to remember the best from the first book. This is less a sequel and more an addition to that story. Well narrated by Wil Wheaton, and intriguing as soon as you get into it.

A nice addition

this was a delightful side story to the previous book. a nice way of filling in the back ground of the established story. The only weakness is it falls flat if you haven't already read the first book
