This wound up being a huge disappointment. There were too many various sub-plots going on simultaneously, and major plot holes (for example, why is it that the NPCs were rigged to go "rogue" across the OASIS, but conveniently every NPC that the main characters interacted with were completely on point?). Just a mess, and the ending felt like the half-baked futuristic utopia spouted out in a moment of euphoria by someone tripping on acid.
