The Reset: The Final Days of the Last American Bubble
The Reset is coming.
The Reset is the day when hyperinflation slams onto US shores, paper money becomes worthless, food and water are scarce, stock markets go to zero, and the current economic system burns to the ground.
The vacuum will be filled, at first, by chaos.
This novel is the story of the weeks, days, and hours leading up to The Reset. It is an accelerating tale of broken love, paper money, and recreational self-destruction in the final days of the last American bubble. This is the story of how trees do not grow to the sky.
This is the story of how capitalism committed suicide.
------------------------------------------------------------
Charlie Bloom plays the financial markets like a video game, plugged into the global casino via hypergoggs and haptic gloves. At 27 years old, he is one of the top ↑Marketz!↓ traders in the world—and suddenly rich AF. But Charlie doesn’t care about money. He cares about music and Sight and late nights and perfect trips. And then he meets Alison, the most beautiful human being in the world. They fall crazy/stupid in love, but can it work? She is only twenty, and already broken.
Charlie and Alison chase higher highs all night and crash all day. The raging club nights used to be so galactic, but lately the fun and games have taken on a darker edge. Charlie has had enough. Alison gets high in search of oblivion. She drinks too much. She lies.
Charlie wants to be fitter, happier. Alison agrees they need to get clean. They need to act like adults and get better at real life. But not today… Maybe tomorrow?
The Reset is coming.
Are you ready?

Moore's writing style can be quite challenging at times for those that are not familiar with markets, and the book fully reveals itself only to those who are familiar with terms like Bernanke, Zerohedge, and Plunge Protection Team. However, for readers who are interested in exploring the deeper issues facing our society today, "The Reset" offers a fascinating and insightful analysis of the current economic system and the risks inherent in a society built on unsustainable growth.
3/5 - While the book offers interesting insights into the risks of an economic bubble and the potential consequences of an unsustainable economic system, I found it lacking in practical applications. Additionally, I don't feel compelled to read it again as I don't believe it would offer any new insights on subsequent readings.

Very timely and well written. Deeply disturbing and thought provoking.
