Computer games are not only pop culture they are parts of our identity. This book is for all who have spend hours of hours in their youth in front of displays. It’s full of citations and allusions from famous and obscure games and movies of the 80ies and early 90ies. The story is set somewhere in near future when virtual reality and real life become one big game. When big companies control your identity and life. When earth is fucked up. And when there is only one chance to change the future to somthing better.
It’s real fun to read. Steven Spielberg is directing the movie adaption currently which will be published next year wikipedia says.
