As the book was published in 1996, it was interesting to see where the author saw the future of virtual reality.
The outdated ideas about virtual reality actually did not disturb me too much, actually I did not find them so outdated. I don't know much about the applications of VR nowadays except for the games & entertainment. Even in these times of remote work, we still do 2D meetings on Zoom. I kind of felt who the culprits will be, the author gave some clues throughout the book, still the plot was quite nicely span. This book was not so much about trading as about running a high-tech start-up with a revolutionary technology and this theme was also well researched and presented in my opinion.
Overall, it is a decent thriller.
