Weirdly the most realistic depiction of the US I think I've seen in an eastern book, how American's think atleast, from an outside perspective. I really get the feeling that the guy who wrote the book must know many American's, or has lived in the US for a time. Really intriguing book. It has a very bleak atmosphere, which I love. The VR elements work great, and the author manages to make you invested. Of course there's the theme of humanity, and how the AI in the game can be more human than humans in real life. I enjoy the fact that characters in the book, while still being characters, seem real. Not as in their personalities, but in their actions. Looking forward to more, I hope it keeps being translated.
