Verdict: This is not a game is an enjoyable, though lightweight, cyberpunk thriller.
Reasons for reading it: I really, really loved Aristoi when![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
lethargic_man lent it to me many years ago. So when I saw a new book by Williams in the library, I had to grab it.
How it came into my hands: Library.
( detailed review )
The most comparable thing I can think of is Vinge's Rainbows End. It's fun, but it's somewhat disappointing to pick up something by an author who does really mind-blowing far future SF, and find that it's middling cyberpunk.
