Respawn Protocol

At 3:31 a.m., Chicago went dark and became a game. The delivery riders are the players.

Jaylen Park is the 4,112th-best courier in the city. When the Overlay hits, his app gives him a class, three lives, and a quest: deliver five Keystones before sunrise or the game becomes permanent. Every respawn costs a memory. And the Dispatcher, the algorithm that has rated him for nineteen months, is now keeping score.

A funny, thrilling and surprisingly moving game-world adventure about gig work, found family and the people behind the blue dots on the map.
