    definitely enjoyable

    Sorry some didn't find it satisfying enough. I loved it and stayed up til 4 a.m. reading it! Just recommended it at the library for gaming teens. Liked the multiple viewpoints, the mix of fantasy with business rivalry. A provocative ending. Will definitely add it to my Nook library as soon as next month's budgeted book allowance is available.

    Not my kind of book

    I love computers/video games and I love Diane Duane. If that wasn't enough the cover looks pretty cool (I judge). Sadly this book took me a week to finish (I'm the type who can't put a book down once I start). There are a few key reasons I didn't like it.

    1) The story was BLAND. Based on the description you'd expect the story to be full of exciting twists and turns as two companies "battle it out." This does not happen AT ALL. The 'climaxes' felt more like "Finally the story is starting to move along. Hopefully something big happens soon." In fact, it isn't until the last third of the book that it actually becomes a decent read, except for one fundamental problem: 2) This story would make a better movie. I never thought I'd say that, but reading about a game, the world customization options, and the giant battle at the end wasn't interesting. I know she spent a lot of time trying to explain everything so you could get into her world, but that just didn't happen for me.

    By the end my reaction was simple "That's it?" I know she is having another book come out, but I really wish she'd work on A Young Wizard Series instead and submit this as a screenplay. I don't want people to dislike this book, but the fact of the matter is I had to force myself to finish it which is why I gave it one star. If you have a vivid imagination maybe you will get completely sucked into the story and the gameplay.

    excellent read - nice merging of business/tech/fantasy!

    Excellent read - nice handling of multiple perspectives from the conniving soulless business man to the wife of a devoted gamer. Interesting set up for the game as well - if it really existed, I might be more than a casual player!

    Not sci-fi

    may contain spoilers: I was really disappointed in this book. The story was okay and the characters likable BUT and it's a big but. The book summary is totally misleading. this is not about a sentient AI game. It's about rival ex-partners and one trying to hack in and bring the others game company down. complete bs on the methods of hacking and crazy ideas about avatars of people in the company fighting hack attempts with their virtual identities online. Okay read but NOT in any way what the summary says it is.

    Gaming Inside and Out

    Finding this book by pure accident and not having read anything else by the author, I was happy to find a great paced novel that brought a lot of different views of the "Omnitopia" MMORPG world. I loved the different view points from multiple characters, being in the game and also on the techinical side of running the game. The only draw backs to the book is that I would have liked more in depth scenes with the game itself, and how the various economies run, which is just only hinted at here. Knowing now that is the first book in a series gets me excited to hopefully see more of the game.

    terrific techno-thriller

    By 2015, anyone who knows their name participates in multi-player on line games. The most popular of the interactive internet games is Dev Logan's Omnitopia. There are so many players; the game has surpassed TV and movies as the number one entertainment outlet in the world. Millions not just play, but prefer the reality of Omnitopia to their "real" existence.

    Dev and his crew begin a major upgrade to his game system. However, while working on the expansion, he is stunned to learn his creation is alive. Whereas he has always dueled with unscrupulous hackers, elected officials with false morals, and unprincipled industrial espionage operatives, he never lost sight that it was only a game. Now it is more than a game as he tries to keep the ruthless immoral thugs from murdering or kidnapping his "offspring".

    This is a terrific techno-thriller that uses the enthusiasm of game players to extract a near future in which on-line interactivity is the in thing. Although AI tales have starred frequently in books (Asimov) and movies (Spielberg), Omnitopia Dawn provides a fresh perspective due to a rotating 360 degree viewpoint. Fans will enjoy likable Dev's efforts to protect his child while also seeing how players, the expansion crew, and the devious look at Omnitopia.
