Dream Park by Larry Niven and Steven Barnes

DREAM PARK BY LARRY NIVEN AND STEVEN BARNES is in stock at our shop in Chitose, Hokkaido.

For fifteen virtual reality gamers undertaking a four-and-half day quest, the fantasy slaying of monsters is suddenly interrupted-by murder.

".... The Dream Park setting is an Xtreme Disneyland. Instead of amusement rides, they have full scale D&D type adventures, thanks to liberal use of special effects and holograms. If you are good enough at winning these adventures you can become a star and make a living off the videos of your games....

... This is, for my money, the most sheer fun I've ever had reading a book. It's absolute popcorn fare for the dorkiest gamer, trekkie, cosplayer, or other form of geek with which you might be familiar. It's pure fan service. In addition to the sheer indulgenece of the setting (a nerdtastic mixture of the Holodeck and GenCon), there's the undeniable message: victory, in the end, does not go to the swiftest, the strongest, nor even the fastest. It goes to the min/maxer. The rules-lawyer triumps. May the best gamer win. The future belongs to the munchkin.... "
