> I don't think I'd be spoiling it if I told you that AI was the central conflict of the story. But he does a very good job deconstructing the "[A.I. Is a Crapshoot](http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/AIIsACrapshoot)" trope.

> I read this a while back. I enjoyed it a lot, but thought that the first third/half was better than what followed - in part because this is a fictionalization of a videogame, and it sort of shows. It lends a lot of believability to the cyberpunk setting.
