Read a short novel in a single day after a long time. The book is mostly "geek and pop-culture" references with a fast-paced YA like plot. Things I liked were how closely the book actually resembles a game and even the occasional diatribe about us shutting ourselves from reality into alternate realities (The book mostly talks about VR, but implies things like fantasy books and DnD).

The worldbuilding was slightly off-putting for me. It didn't have the same polish as the Monty Python references. A world dying of an energy crisis and people just sitting around with insane cash didn't equate very well for me either. However, I was expecting a fast-paced full-of-trivia YA novel, and that is exactly what I got.
