Like so many before that I am among those who have experienced at first hand and lived many of the films described and especially video games in their childhood. Cline says in his story a classic adventure game, as they were very popular in the 80s. I have also liked to play such games, so titles and events came to me from time to time very familiar. Many reminiscences of films from this period (Wargame, Blade Runner and many others) are excellent embedded in the story. The narrative is gripping, liquid written sometimes something American. One might say, a commercial, well-made Hollywood action film (the there could be from this book thoroughly). It was one of the few books I've read in a few days (usually I need weeks and months for such a book ...).
Who is now 35-45 years old, formerly (and today) likes gedaddelt and perhaps with RPGs still a little thing can start is maintained very well here.
