This is an ambitious tale featuring a dozen tech-savvy narrators from around the world who all make their livelihoods playing and scamming video games. The cumulative effect of so many interwoven stories is that new ones feel like a layer of the previous. While each of the narrators could have easily been the star of his or her own book, they are instead strands of Doctorow’s global web, proving that everything’s interconnected.

Is is possible that the Kindle version here was made from an earlier draft? The version I just read (and really enjoyed) contains a few differences from the HTML and plain text versions--"John Wayne High" in a few places instead of Ronald Reagan, Leonard's age as "nearly 17" instead of 17 going on 18.
