Protagonist works for the huge gov bureaucracy in Soviet Union (Gosplan) and imagines that he is going through the levels to reach the Princess. He pretty much lives in the world of Prince of Persia. Hes colleagues, OTOH, live in the worlds of F19 or M1 Abrams, so when protagonist goes to speak to his boss, he has to go through the tank battlefield of M1 game.

I thought that I knew all novels by V. Pelevin. I haven't even heard of this one before, although I've read almost everything by him. Thanks for the info.
