If you love science fiction, and grew up in the 80s, you MUST read this book. It is an homage to everything 80s - but especially 80s arcade games, movies, TV series and music.
I listened to the Audible audio book version which was read by Wil Wheaton and let me tell you, that was a GREAT way to read this book. Wheaton does it justice, and I now picture him as the protagonist. There's supposedly a movie going to be made of this (I HOPE!) and I think Wheaton would be perfect except he's getting too old, although since 95% of the book takes place in a virtual world, I guess it makes no difference. They can just C.G. a 20 year old Wil Wheaton for the real world scenes.
I'm not even going to bother reviewing it. Read this review in the New York Times and the reviews on Amazon.
One of the most enjoyable books I've ever read.

Christians warn us about the anti-christ for 2,000 years, and when he shows up, they buy a bible from him.
