In an increasingly wired and computer-friendly world, massive multiplayer online games have become the ultimate form of entertainment. And the most popular gaming universe of all is Omnitopia, created by genius programmer Dev Logan. For millions of people around the world, Omnitopia is an obsession, a passionate pastime, almost a way of life. But there's a secret to Omnitopia, one that Dev would give his life to protect: the game isn't just a program or a piece of code. It's become sentient - alive. And it's Dev's job to keep it that way.

I love Diane Duane's books and this one is no exception. At first, the reader is led through a few bites of the life of gaming company tycoon. But as the story progresses, added characters are introduced. By the time the science fiction/fantasy elements are introduced the reader is ready to accept them as a logical part of the world. I did not want to stop reading especially in the second half.

Duane does it again

Step into the worlds of Omnitopia a large VRMMORPG run by Dev Logan. This is NOT a fantasy RPG book; nor is it a fantasy book in general. The best description, almost sci-fi, not quite simple fiction. Join Omnitopia a few days before the roll-out of its newest expansion release. Stay to see if the company can survive being targeted by what possibly amounts to the things hackers go to bed dreaming about doing to wall-street. Along the way expect to enjoy some cute interludes where families interact with each other. All in not the worst way to spend fifteen hours, but unfortunately not the best either.

Diane Duane is without question a master writer, and Omnitopia Dawn is well written and polished. Unfortunately, the story lacks any way to stand out from the horde. One could argue that having been published in 2010 it carries a distinction of being an early pioneer, but others have managed to leave deeper marks by having something unique and memorable, this book is neither. Please don't judge all Duane's work on just this book, check out So You Want to be a Wizard and enter a world of unforgettable wonder; one of the best spins on magic ever.

Kirby Heyborne's voice performance is in a word, forgettable. During the performance it is easy to get lost in the monotone paragraphs and steady drone. His redeeming factors are his character voices. These are consistent and accurate; in the right book Kirby would likely be an enjoyable narrator.

🡺Note: Thank you for taking the time to read my review.

See what I did there. 50% of the book can be deleted with that right up there and 10s of millions of dollars.

The writer hasn't played a game before let alone an mmo. The mmo in question sounds so mind numbibgly boring.

You tried. Write what you know next time.

Very similar to "Ready Player One" More in depth descriptions of gameplay and some structure behind how the VR Full Immersion game works. Fairly fast pace throughout the book. Has one or two slow sections in it. But I do enjoy this plot. Wish that this type of game/system existed in real life for players.
