Started this yesterday, so far so good. Science Fiction for the 1980's kids. John Hughes references and Atari gaming galore. More to follow. So, the more to follow includes the realization that this is not an important book and that people like it because of their ridiculous feelings of nostalgia for the 1980's. This includes those that never experienced the 1980's who feel nostalgic about them anyway. It's as if the author was trying to cram in as many allusions and references from his past that he could. Ah well, 1/3 through...time will tell. So at 3/4 the way through I realized I did not care how this finished, did not care about video game allusions, did not care about all his obvious movie allusions, and tore the book to shreads in a fit of pique.
