Exadelic by Jon Evans was a unique and enjoyable book. The story centers around Adrian, a clueless but well-intentioned mid-level Silicon Valley type, who gets thrust into a reality shattering conspiracy. The story starts as what appears to the reader as Charles Stross style urban fantasy but ends up after various twists to be a William Gibson style cyberpunk novel culminating in the jailbreaking of reality. The book is objectively well written, and the characters are compelling.

As far as I can tell this is a standalone novel and the ending doesn't seem to leave any room for follow up novels. As such the book makes for a nice little nugget of reading that doesn't commit you to having to read an entire series. If you are looking for something a little different, then I can wholeheartedly recommend giving Exadelic a read.
