About this listen

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.

Ok you must push past the start of the book.. the first part I felt was very dull and I nearly gave up..: I pushed on and fell in love with this book I'm now looking forward to the second book and I am interested in the technology spoken about in this book .. it's a nerds dream worth a read if you love space or Technology... not as big litrpg as other books but I feel like this is a set up book for a huge series that I could really get into

I have read other books by this author before and really liked them so i got this one, expecting more of the same. Well expect to be let down, this story is nothing but depression and aggravation that keeps building until your ready to throw the book out the window.
The world/future is so depressing and crushing i cannot understand why 90% of the has not commited suicide but at least the top 1% are still happy. The main character is so unlikable i would not piss on him if he was on fire, egocentric, entitled, spineless and stupid. After having astounding luck he then just lets everyone shit on him without standing up for himself. I know many stories need to have the hero brought down to the lowest, so they can epicly regain all they lost and more....but this MC is as far from a hero (even a human being) as you can get.
Gave up after chapter 5 as i was so close to throwing my phone at the wall, because of the stupid MCs actions.

Could not even finish it, that's how bad it was.
