I found the weakest parts of the book to be the endless nerd pop culture references. The parts that dealt with the consequences of VR, identity, and withdrawal from society were great, but it felt like it was all wrapped in a self-conscious veneer of "hey, you recognize this nerd reference, right?" as if the author felt that the ideas couldn't stand on their own.
