Critical Reviews
Critical Reviews
"This book has everything you could possibly want. Interesting and complicated characters, humor, a sense of foreboding, and is a brilliantly executed story that leaves you wanting more."--Ray Porter
"A harrowing techno-futurist fever dream of justifiably paranoid creators being hunted down by their own creation. A gamedev's worst nightmare, imagined by one of the best writers ever to work in the gaming industry. "Frankenstein" meets "Free Guy"... if both were on a really bad acid trip."--Ernest Cline, author of Ready Player One
