Found this as one of those "recommended by the staff" books at Copperfield's bookstore in Petaluma, CA. Copperfields is a great bookstore, so check if out if you're ever in the area.

Anyway, this was billed as a "what Ready Player One should have been" type book, it was last on the shelf, and I was in a buying mood, so I grabbed it and started reading a couple days later. 30% in, the book is fun, the character descriptions pretty good, but I don't know if it's a knock-your-socks-off title. Still, I keep turning the pages, so that's something.
