Review of LibraryThing Early Reviewers giveaway of T.C. Weber’s The War for Reality: Books 1-3 of the BetterWorld Cyberpunk TrilogyT.C. Weber’s BetterWorld novels revive the noir-punk attitude and glittering decay of last century’s cyberpunk novels such as William Gibson’s Neuromancer but reflect today’s technology and corporate culture not 1984’s. They deal with current concerns such as media concentration and false news in echoes of Orwell’s totalitarian state and deliberate misinformation industry. Perhaps 1984’s urban squalor was a parent of cyberpunk. Weber tells the story of an interesting world with good pace and well-developed characters. The prose is clean and natural. (There is an occasional sentence missing a word.) We get a classic underdog fighting an overwhelming foe. It’s an absorbing story and an enjoyable read that deals with important modern issues.

In this near-future cyberpunk trilogy, a giant media corporation (MediaCorp) has taken over the Internet, created an addictive virtual reality called BetterWorld, and controls nearly all information. Politicians do their bidding and a brainwashed humanity serves a privileged few.The first volume, Sleep State Interrupt, was a Compton Crook Award finalist for best first science fiction novel. Waylee Freid, an unemployed Baltimore journalist with ever-worsening bipolar disorder, and Charles, a teenage hacker from public housing, seek to wake up the world and bring about a brighter future. They must sneak into a closed presidential fundraiser, record incriminating admissions, and broadcast it during the Super Bowl. But to do so, they must avoid a huge manhunt and break into one of the most secure facilities ever built.In the second volume, Wrath of Leviathan, Waylee faces life in prison. Exiled in Brazil, her young sister Kiyoko and their hacker friends continue the fight. But MediaCorp and their government allies may quash the rebellion before it takes off. And unknown to Kiyoko and her friends, a team of ruthless mercenaries is after them, and closing in fast.In the final volume, Zero-Day Rising, the group is reunited and set on bringing down President Rand and MediaCorp. However, MediaCorp unleashes their ultimate plan: direct mind control with cerebral implants. Can Kiyoko and Waylee's team stop them?
