"Hard work but worth it for the reference and for the feel of a new time.....Be sure to read about the overall theme of it in other books, if you can't be bothered to read this all the way through."
"Traditional sci-fi, but imploding....with the Dick theme of paranoia and the need for the fake versus the real....this is the classic precursor to cyberpunk....."
"The only tome of Tad's worth getting.....just because it would take too much lifetime to read the others....and because this is mature VR sci-fi...with enough of its world laid out here to inspire.."
"The Director's Cut is the definitive version....The cult atmosphere of cyberpunk is here.....without the VR but with the shadowy realm between the real and unreal....."
