It uses the same straightforward rule system as Paul Mitchener's Liminal adapted to the fast-moving sci-fi thriller worlds of Cyberpunk.

When I designed Reboot the Future¸ I had five design goals in mind¸ listed below.

• At its heart¸ it's a straightforward rules-light cyberpunk game. If you want to discard the setting and make your own¸ you still get value for money. The character generation¸ game rules¸ and example NPCs and organisations are rooted in traditional cyberpunk tropes.
• Cyberpunk in the 23rd century. I wanted a setting where even if the players want to play straightforward cyberpunk¸ which is a little bit more than the Cyberpunks vs Corporations. Dragging the setting's time period forward into the 23rd-century space age of fringe colonies vs core corporate worlds and the mystery of what's in space has done this for me.
• Everyone's a Cyberhacker. Although there is a dedicated cyberhacker concept¸ everyone can interact with virtual reality and do stuff there. Sometimes they will have to work together as a group to overcome the Artificial Intelligences that run Virtual Reality and guard its secrets.
• Play the cyberpunk you want. Using a setting questionnaire and other player-centred tools¸ the group gets to run the version of cyberpunk you and your players want.
• Deep setting info you can ignore if you want. If you like the deep occult conspiracy type of cyberpunk that The Matrix brings¸ mixed with a dash of Ufology¸ the game supports that. But keeping with point 4¸ you can easily switch that off and ignore it if you or your players don't want to engage with it.
