There were elements of 1984 and The Matrix but neither particularly well executed. I didn't find the story tense at all and I felt the characters were pretty generic and not hugely developed, which I guess is maybe why the story didn't feel tense to me.
Again, it was a fun read. I enjoyed it. I'd recommend it for someone looking for a light sci fi dystopian book that has Matrix elements. Equally, if you really loves video games and 80s geek culture theme you may well enjoy this. If that's what you are looking for I'm sure you'd enjoy this. Only thing I would say though, is for what is essentially a purely plot driven book, it could probably have benefited from being about a hundred pages shorter.
