THANK YOU

I felt like the book had schizophrenia. It simultaneously wanted to be dystopian cyberpunk but also teenage fantasy. You can't really do both well

Agreed. I was pretty disappointed with this one.

As a kid who literally played joust and Pac-Man in Pizza Hut in Middletown, Ohio in the 80s, and has also seen that town in recent years, it was a welcome escapist adventure fantasy for me. It definitely won’t pass the test of time, but I’ll take the whole book just for it putting Oingo Boingo back on my radar in recent years! Haha
