I was hoping for a really good, engrossing summer read, and stumbled upon this (that'll teach me to troll the bargain bin). It's only OK -- it takes itself too seriously, and is obviously indebted to the Matrix and Richard Dawkins' "The Selfish Meme."

The book tries too hard to be too many things, and is ultimately rather unfulfilling.
