Description

Set in the 1980s when Duran Duran were in their prime, personal computers the latest fad and Pacman and Space Invaders the games of choice. Kevin gets a brand-new Commodore 64 for his birthday. He absolutely loves gaming and is gifted at coding. One day while working through some tricky coding, Kevin takes one step too far and is sucked into an alternative world where he meets Zark and Muckerberg and is taken on a trip into the future of AI. But will he ever be able to return home to his family and Jess?
