A former child actor from the hit 90s teen drama Rev Beach, he now rotates between his new roles as deadbeat dad, part-time alcoholic, and occasional videogame voice actor. But when David is summoned to Los Angeles by Grace, his ex-wife and former co-star, he suddenly sees an opportunity for a reboot-not just of the show that made him famous, but also of his listless existence.

Reboot is a madcap and eerily prescient speculative comedy for our era of glass-eyed doomscrolling and 90s nostalgia-a tale of former teen heartthrobs, online edge lords, and fish-faced cryptids, perfect for anyone who still agonizes over Angel versus Spike, lives in fear of the QAnon mom next door, or has run afoul of a rabid "stan" and lived to tell"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Child actors $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Television programs $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Voice actors and actresses $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Social media $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Satirical literature. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Humorous fiction. $2 lcgft 941 $a 4 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240514011013.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20240504010309.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20240503010610.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20240502012342.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=DD082DD0084B11EFBCAD05DA2DECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
