Inhaltsangabe

Tollund only wanted to tidy up magic.
By deleting it and creating a world without all those problems of lightning bolts with attitude.

Magic was never meant to be neat. It was loud, unpredictable, and much like humanity itself, had a terrible sense of humour. When Tollund, an unassuming wizard with more patience than flair, cast a spell to erase magic, he thought he was saving everyone.

What he actually created was a world that still wages wars, hoards power, and invents weapons that make fireballs look quaint. Only now it does so while claiming to be perfectly rational.

As Tollund stumbles through this strange new reality, he begins to suspect that magic hasn’t vanished at all. It has simply… moved house. Into batteries. Into machines. Into the humming heart of a thing people insist on calling “progress.”

Part satire, part fantasy, and part uncomfortably honest reflection on human folly, Magic.exe asks: if magic and technology are two sides of the same mischievous coin, can anyone ever truly switch it off?

Perfect for readers who like their humour British, their fantasy clever, and their apocalypses slightly ridiculous.
