At least it wasn't too long. ( )

Whimsical foray into virtual reality -- and highly original (if improbably true). ( )

A virtual society gone out of control. Corporations battling to keep control of their stocks while sending the virtual world to a halt, collapsing game systems that trap people in the world of virtual reality or send them to their death. Frank Gobi is called on a mission to save the world and those trapped inside including his son. Full of twists and turns as he makes his way to Neo-Tokyo. Here is where I felt the book took a turn for the worst, your typical shoot em-up, chase em-down Tokyo scene. Overall the book was interesting for a one time read. ( )
