Mirdamas keistuolis OAZĖS kūrėjas palieka užduotį – įminti krūvą galvosūkių, susijusių su pastarųjų dešimtmečių popkultūra, kurios ir pats buvo apsėstas. Laimingasis, pirmasis įminęs painiąsias mįsles, paveldės OAZĘ. Veidas įveikia pirmuosius užduoties vartus, bet jo varžovai, norėdami užvaldyti visą pasaulį, nesibodi net žudynių.

A great book for videogame enthusaists and those who love 80's culture.
5 stars
A great story regarding a late teen engaging in a video game quest with real-world impact. Set in a dystopian future, the tale gives you a blend of a virtual world learing to positive and meaningful real-life changes.
The story is told with enthusiasm and gives you a great insight into a late teen learning there is more to life than a virtual world. It also teaches you persistance, may lead to mindblowing results.
Lightweight romp through Nostalgia
4 stars
An enjoyable and quick read. Nostalgia is bound together by a fairly predictable plot line. I wanted to go back and create a playlist of all the music mentioned, but I borrowed the book from a co-worker and needed to return it.
I enjoyed it.
4 stars
To be honest it's been a while since I read the book so don't expect a full in depht review. Sorry.
I liked it, quite a lot indeed. I also enjoy playing video games and 90% of the action occours on a video game. I think that, as always, the book is quite superior compared to the movie.
In conclussion: I recomend it if you like cifi stuff.

A great nostalgic romp through the past, the present and, perhaps a not too distant future. It points out what's wrong with our global culture today in a way that brings back the hope we had growing up in the 70's and 80's. It reinvigorates a faith in the goodness of humanity in spite of our current mistakes and failings. And it points out the absolute value of charity towards one another. And it shows how we know all this; we learned it all growing up but forgot it being part of the rat race or being run over by it.
It's full of Easter eggs from pop culture and the best ones are those he brings up without pointing them out, leaving the reader to notice them.

For anyone who is nostalgic about the late 70's and 80's and the tabletop role-playing game that spawned many others and computer games and movies to follow, you'll see just how deeply Dungeons and Dragons has shaped our culture.
