"Suffice it to say that certain words (“hellfire,” “ninja,” “Ginsu,”
“reaper”) and images (an invisible bird of prey soon to strike, an evil man
on a balcony serenely alone) and capabilities (a first-person-shooter game
made flesh, firing a horrifying weapon that is the definition of overkill)
make it read like clumsy fantasy, something on the order of Thomas Pynchon,
were *Gravity’s Rainbow* rewritten by a moron."
