I really enjoyed this book. I think giving wade an asshole phase once he got rich always made sense. It’s only realistic, bezos and musk style. But the challenges and experiences help him learn that his love for his friends and partner is far more important than his addiction to the internet and the oasis. The theme of mystery video game is carried over from the first book and I enjoyed the darker view we get into a disturbed Halliday’s mind. It is a good lesson for wade not to repeat the same mistakes that Halliday did. The plot twist of Anorack gaining AI consciousness was exciting and I loved the suspense of trying to defeat him! I hope they don’t butcher the movie like they did with RP1 but my hopes are low.

nikzzz3's review against another edition

Using disabled people as "guinea pigs" for experiments, having them go under possibly fatal surgery to get equipment and implants in their brains, and then shutting down the program once noninvasive equipment is completely finished is reprehensible.  Like its giving the ok to experiment on disabled people because its free and its for the betterment of (ablebodied) humankind. How many ablebodied people voluntered for the experimental tech surgery and implants? Zero, in the book only disabled people qualified.

This book was good, but I have to say that the first one was better. It was a good plot, good characters and it ends well.
