An enjoyable sci-fi book. I was shocked when I found out it was written in the 80s- some of the predicted technology exists now (I never want to be cut off from my terminal). I don't think I've ever read an adult sci-fi book with the topic of board games and not video games. It was interesting, abstract, and only a little colonialist. The ending was a little unsatisfying. It is clearly part of a larger series but this is the only one I have read.
