The epic range of Williams´ fantasy and imagination, whose high fantasy series Memory Sorrow and Thorn is an amazing journey, is mixed with the more dystopic cyberpunk wasted future elements of soon to be real sci-fi, making it an extraordinary science fantasy read. I wonder why Williams didn´t consider doing this, adding an extra sci-fi world animation layer next to the mainly fantastic, historic, and horror ones, because this would have given the work even more suspense. The options, by switching between a corpocracy controlled, neoliberal nightmare world, and the fantastic VR, open so many plot possibilities that couldn´t be enabled with other worldbuilding combinations, it could even add sci-fi to the mix. This business model with certainly be a hard nut to crack for the public relation, corporate responsibility, and code of conduct departments, but maybe they could let it more seem like a great opportunity for everyone from kids to grandparents to have loads of immersive, forever fun. What if the Matrix isn´t run by evil machines, but by the corpocracy?
