It’s almost a pity that it’s so short as I think the possibilities were endless. Still, the story is enjoyable and entertaining to a point I would love to see it turned into a movie.
Thankfully the mistakes are related to grammar rather than plot so, although they’re glaring and sometimes pull you out of the story, at no point did I feel like I had missed or misunderstood something. There are, however, quite a few mistakes, giving the book an unpolished feel. I also enjoyed the role-playing game feel the whole thing had, complete with randomized weapons extracted from loot ‘boxes’ and the impact each character’s choices during the game had on themselves, those around them, and the game itself. What made the story for me, aside from what I kept thinking of as A.I.-powered-shortcircuited-zombie-robots, was the way the players themselves interacted with and against each other, with some preferring to pursue their own pleasures and greed over self-preservation, mirroring real life.
The story is relatively short, making it quite a fast read and one well-worth the time.
Not that I’m much of a fan of the hateful Sia Bucks, but then I doubt anyone could ever be. Welcome to Game of Mass Destruction, the one and only reality show I would watch with near-religious zeal if it ever became, well, reality.
