This is Not a Game Posted at 5:22 AM by Rico Simpkins

If you like near future books, like I do, you’ll be interested in Walter Jon Williams‘ upcoming book, This is Not a Game.   We have high expectations for this book, not only because Mr. Williams has been nominated for so many awards (including the Hugo, Phillip K. Dick, Locus Fantasy, and two Nebulas), but also because he is apparently a hard core gamer with some impressive street cred.  The same can be said of the main characters of this thriller, that takes the reader into what he sees as the not-so-distant future of gaming.

You’ll have to preorder this one, as it doesn’t come out until March 24.  You may as well read it on the 25th, though, because we’re guessing it’ll get a nom from somebody, and he might finally win one this time.  Think about how cool it would that you already read it before it was a winner.   You can check out the latest review (such as it is) at Publisher’s Weekly.
