Anyone else read this? It's from the Author of John Dies at the End and This Book is Full of Spiders: Seriously Dude Don't Touch It.

I was entertained but moderately underwhelmed by the story. It's a good book and a fun read. But I was pretty damn impressed with John Dies at the End and didn't feel like this one lived up to it. I think Wong wanted to talk about what he saw as a possible future and illustrate how fucked up things can get if there were actually readily available super-power cybernetic upgrades. But it just felt... flat. Tabula Ra$a had style and was well described, but it felt like a lot of near-future dystopian settings that other authors have used. I loved the Blink system of social media and I think that could very easily become a reality. I don't know. How did you guys feel reading it? I couldn't get over an overwhelming feeling of "John Dies at the End was written WAY better".

Your thoughts?

He is a harasser. The dude is also in love with the matrix as the greatest movie franchise of all time. Him and Jack O`brien have constantly ruined the Cracked Podcast, which could have been beautiful, and moved their website from actual funny satire, to a clickbait navel gazing gawker clone.



John dies at the end was okay.


Gladstones Tales from the internet apocalypse was better. If we are comparing cracked peers.

I really, really like John Dies at the End and This Book is Full of Spiders and would recommend them to anyone but I absolutely cannot stand the man himself or the articles he writes on Cracked.
