Sinossi
Siamo nel futuro e una nuova pandemia ha travolto la Terra: le nuove tecnologie permettono di immergersi fin troppo nei videogiochi, si rischia così di perdere il contatto con la realtà e fondersi completamente con il mondo virtuale. Questo fenomeno è conosciuto come "effetto perma". È un bel guaio se si resta bloccati all'interno di un simulatore di guerra! Per alcuni invece sembra essere l'unica speranza. I portatori di handicap, i malati terminali, i soldati veterani traumatizzati, le vittime del crimine e altri disadattati della società scelgono di fuggire volontariamente dalla vita reale cercando l'evasione nel mondo senza confini degli MMORPG. Max è un ex giocatore esperto con un cancro all'ultimo stadio, e decide di cogliere questa ultima occasione per preservare la sua vita e la sua identità. Si ritrova così a inseguire la promessa di immortalità insieme ad alcuni amici fidati e alla donna che ama, vagando per le strade di Alterworld, assaporando l'agonia e l'estasi della sua assoluta libertà.

Excuse me, but what the f**k is this? Women are apparently meek fragile things who can't do anything but curl up into fetal position and wait for a big broad shouldered man to come save her... This is the largest pile of sexist shit I've had fed into my brain for the longest time. The amount of nega Leggi tutto
This was really bad. Like watching someone play Warcraft while they explain the rules and details behind every strategic decision while leveling up their character - how many intelligence points, how much mana, how many experience points per kill, whether or not to buy a weapon or level up first, et Leggi tutto
(Finished in September 2014) I think I've found my favorite sub genre within fantasy/Sci-fi, if you will. I really like this type of book. This was a wonderful surprise, I highly suggest you check it out if you like books such as Ready Player One. I'm not even a gamer. I have family members who game; Leggi tutto
Okay...interesting premise. This is the second series I've started that is placed in a game world become real, at least for those in it. I liked the first series better (that said there's only 2 of them). This series gets a bit more serious as it goes along and it took me a little longer to get real Leggi tutto
DNF @ 56% I was looking for a good LitRPG, and this seemed like a pretty famous one so jumped straight in. I'm now having to stop at just over half way through. Flat characters I could push through if the game and world building was solid, but the sexism! I'm not normally one to care much, but damn... Leggi tutto
This book interested me from two different perspectives. On one hand I'm a gamer, on the other I'm chronically ill. I may not be dying from any of my illnesses, but my quality of life is quite low because of them. Would I choose to enter an MMO for all eternity if I could? Honestly I'm not sure. May Leggi tutto
A enjoyable and entertaining story. AlterWorld is a Virtual reality MMORPG. Very similar to Sword art online, Legendary Moonlight Sculpture & Ark. Taking the concept of being trapped in a virtual reality a step further the protagonist abandons his cancer ridden body for the chance to grasp a potenti Leggi tutto
Believe in everything. Believe in the main character, and believe in AlterWorld imbued vicarious pleasure to what is happening with the other characters. Cool twisted plot, don`t miss, secrets and mysteries are mushrooming ... look forward to continue (the third book).
One cannot open this book without cherishing the memory of classic text-based rpgs and muds. The whole series is imbued with it. Critics claim that the author had single-handedly created a unique genre: LitRPG. I think this is a bit overenthusiastic, as the concept is certainly not unique, there were Leggi tutto
