2017 Reading Challenge discussion

Reading the description, I honestly didn’t have high hopes for Erebos. As I guessed, it wasn’t life changing, but it was still a unique and interesting read. Being someone who has been engrossed in gaming to an unhealthy extent in the past, it was spot on in describing the sleepless nights in which time melts away, and you hate yourself the next day as you stumble through school/work like a zombie.

(view spoiler)[The idea of a video game manipulating it’s players, leading them to achieve goals in the real world (many of which are crimes) in order to slowly work towards a huge and complex long-term goal, is disturbing! It is rare to come across such a concept. (hide spoiler)] It’s like a game, that plays you. *queue scary music*

I think that anyone who is into gaming (specifically RPG's or MMORPG's), could find more appreciation in this book than the average person.
