4.0

To me, one of the biggest appeals of this book is the world it creates. It intertwines old video games and futuristic technology in a compelling way. If you're a fan of references to 80s pop culture and classic video games, you'll probably like this book.

A few parts in the middle felt like they were rushed over to maintain the story's momentum, but other than that the pacing is pretty good.

Spoiler

The ending wrapped the story up nicely. It might be a bit too clean for some, but I still enjoyed it.

Overall, I liked the story and loved the world it's set in.
