Review of 'The Player of Games' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
This is one of the books I am reading to get in the mood for my Eclipse Phase Game.
This is a very interesting Sci-Fi book. I could not really get into the First Culture book "consider phlebas" but after finishing this one I think I am going to have to give it another try.
The interesting aspect of the book is that it describes futuristic games in a way that I don't quite get a real sense of what is going on, however I get enough of the feeling for the games played that I understand it in general terms.
Very interesting for a gamer of any caliber.
