Review of Brain Jack, by Brian Falkner

Brain Jack is a book set 20 years or so in future America, where video game addiction has become a serious epidemic and most are outlawed. Sam is the main protagonist in the story, a teenage boy with a talent for hacking. Him and his friend Fargas get their hands on some new technology called nervegear, which allows you to control an interface using your mind. Sam is recruited by the CDD, (cyber defense division) to fight cyber terrorists. During his first few days working at the CDD sam and his new friends dodge, tyler, and vienna find a new threat that endangers the entire world. I really enjoyed reading this book because it used really casual language and had elements of comedy spread out. You got the sense that the book didn't take itself too seriously, in the best sort of way. Alongside that it touched on some very interesting ideas about what is real. I would recommend this book for someone who enjoys action novels with casual language.
