About this listen

When you discover the world is a computer program, and you figure out that by altering the code you can time travel and perform acts that seem like magic, what can possibly go wrong?

Pretty much everything.

Just ask Brit, who has jumped around in time with such abandon that she has to coexist with multiple versions of herself. Now, Brit the Elder finds that her memories don't match Brit the Younger's. And there's the small matter of a glitch that's making Brit the Elder's body fritz out. Brit the Elder's ex-boyfriend Phillip wants to help her, but he'll have to keep it secret from his current girlfriend, Brit the Younger, who can't stand her future self.

Meanwhile, Martin is trying to protect Phillip from a relentless attacker he somehow hasn't noticed; Gwen is angry because Martin accidentally proposed to her; Gary tries to help the less fortunate, with predictably disastrous results; and an old nemesis might have to be the one to save them all.

In Out of Spite, Out of Mind, our fearless wizards discover the biggest glitch in their world's program may well be themselves.

I enjoyed this latest book in the magic 2.0 series, the story seemed well thought out and finally addressed some things I’ve wondered about the magic 2.0 series. However it was really short, the story doesn’t feel rushed but there could have been more of it.

A good addition to the series but very short!

Still fun though but 😁

Good.. But

This series is incredibly clever, the summery does not do them justice.
While its not the best book in the series the narration is excellent.
Give the first book a go and I you won't regret it. This is a good addition to the series and hats off to Scott Meyer for creating this work of imaginative fantasy.

Better than book 4

This series is honestly one of the best I’ve listened to in a while really creative I love the logical paradox’s I disagree with people who said the series has gotten worse I think it’s gone from strength to strength.

Scott is clearly a clever man and the voice acting by Luke is as always fantastic.

Only sad thing is there is no book 6 yet

Amazing story!
