In the sterile, high-frequency hum of Oakridge, perfection isn't a goal-it's the default setting. Seventeen-year-old Miles Callahan sees the world for what it truly is: a hyper-optimized simulation where adults are merely NPCs following legacy code, and the HOA is the ultimate firewall. Armed with his Field Guide to Suburbia, Miles has spent years logging his father's Thermostat Thresholds and mapping the neighborhood's algorithmic predictability.
But when the system threatens to install a mandatory Adult software patch that kills every creative impulse, Miles and his crew of social glitches-the gear-head Toby, the high-octane Zack, and the corporate-chameleon Harper-decide to hack back. From smart-fridge interrogations to the ultimate Suburbia Job, they'll risk a total system crash to prove that life is more than just property values and seventy-one-degree ambient temperatures.
Because the scariest part of growing up isn't the responsibility-it's realizing that the Couch Grunt is a feature, not a bug.
