wow _really_? Sorry, I had no idea someone could be capable of writing a book about virtual worlds and then imagine shutting them down two days a week. My apologies Mr Spielberg.
it’s a story about how all of society takes place inside of a video game and at no point in the story does it ever contemplate whether or not that is a good thing. The story is just “save the princess from the dragon” but the princess is the oasis.
