Oeuvres Philosophiques de Mr. de La Mettrie V1 (1764)

All his life, Matthew Riley has been a tortured soul. With his friends off living their own lives, the mysterious Uri constantly whispering in his ear, everyone else around him making his life a living nightmare and no prospects, Matt is looking at a future of living in his motheras basement forever. When Kira asks him to go to New York City to help with a missing persons case, he jumps at it, the thought of freeing himself of his mundane and tortured life too good to pass up. But when a revelation turns his life upside down and his past threatens to destroy the very fabric of existence, Matt must make a choice. And that choice will decide the fate of the universe itself.
