Scott Meyer, the Author my favorite web comic Basic Instructions (for everyday living), has released his first novel "Off to be the wizard".

It's a simple story. Boy finds proof that reality is a computer program. Boy uses program to manipulate time and space. Boy gets in trouble. Boy flees back in time to Medieval England to live as a wizard while he tries to think of a way to fix things. Boy gets in more trouble.
Oh, and boy meets girl at some point.

Off to Be the Wizard is a fun, comedic novel about computers, time travel, and human stupidity, written by Scott Meyer, the creator of the internationally known comic strip Basic Instructions.

Magic will be made! Legends will be created! Stew will be eaten!

Sounds a little like Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court by Mark Twain (Samuel Clemons). The story is similar, a modern person is transported back to medieval England and brings the industrial era with him, thus people think he's some sort of wizard, which leads to a few enjoyable duels with Merlin. I liked Connecticut Yankee, so I'll definitely at least take a look at this one.
