Bethke manages to put even less plot into a novel than Piers Anthony, and that
is a considerable feat.
 
However, if you have any interest in computers, computer support or cyberpunk
fiction, you probably won't mind as you chuckle your way through the book. 
Starting off like "The Bastard Operator from Hell Meets Theory X", the plot
wends and twists its way steadily into spaghetti.  Bethke obviously knows his
computers (and a solid block of insider jokes), but isn't about to let the
facts get in the way of a good virtual reality.
