 Run program, by Scott Meyer, is a SF/comedy novel. The topic is now a classic - people create AI, it goes sentient (at least this time it is on purpose), something bad happens. There is a slight twist, though, they decided to create the AI as a brain simulation (not really new - Charles Stross did a couple of books on this, which were pretty good), which is child like when it escapes. As other Scott Meyer books (like the Magic 2.0), comedy is a big part, and there were a lot of funny bits. Overall, good, but not great.

An Unwelcome Quest - by Scott Meyer - is the third novel in the Magic 2.0 series. In the series, some people discover a file that proves that the world is a computer simulation, and end up traveling to the dark ages to use manipulations of the file as magic (sounds silly, I know - but in the novels it goes a lot better than in my summary). In this installment, another of the wizards that were banned without powers get his powers back, and creates a deadly quest for the wizards that banned him. Overall, pretty good, although a bit short and not as good as the first book. Still, if you liked the series it is well worth reading.

Spell or High Water, by Scott Meyer, is the sequel to Off to Be The Wizard  - where a hacker discovers a mysterious file (repository1-c.txt - yes, I did Google it just in case :-)  ) that just so happens to store data about everyone in the universe - and allows reality being changed too. With this they are able to become true wizards. This sequel takes place 2 months after the end of the first. Martin is now a wizard on his own, and he and Phillip are invited to Atlantis for a summit - but strange events are occurring there... Meanwhile, Jimmy is back on his present after being banished, trying to figure out a way to get access to the file and give the other wizards what they deserve. Overall, the book was fun, although not on the same level of the first one. There are a lot of funny bits, action, and I really liked the twist on Jimmy's ending. I eagerly wait further sequels. Still very much recommended, just start with  Off to Be The Wizard  .
