Lmfao is the guys name really "Hiro Protagonist"? And I thought 40k universe names were too on the nose

As others have mentioned, the book knows what it is, and doesn't over reach its ability to make the silly entertaining. It's a popcorn action movie of a book. As boatswain mentioned, the book is simi-satire, something that Ready Player One didn't seem to understand when it ripped it off.

Snow Crash is almost kinda satire, but also not. Also, I believe, the first use of the term "metaverae". It's a fun read.
