Широко шагает русская литература на экспорт. Woe be to those stuck forever in Tetris! (бррррр)
Virtual reality becomes reality for folks afflicted with the Perma Effect. D. Rus' AlterWorld is the story of a terminal cancer patient who transfers his life into an MMO.
This is genre I've meant to explore a bit and Rus sets up a great series in this, his first installment. Humans, NPCs and AI mix to create a vivid world where loot and twinks abound. Max and his friends are permanent fixtures in a video game. While this gives him a new lease on life there is a lot to watch out for.
This is translated from Rus' native Russian. There are a few rough spots but this is an engaging and fast read.
