_Vurt_, well. The whole "blur the boundaries of reality and virtuality" thing? It's much harder to pull off convincingly than people seem to think.

I disliked _Aggressor Six_ because it falls into the category of "the whole book is an effort to Figure Out The Answer, and then the answer is either obvious, kinda dumb, or both". Also, I have trouble seeing how "we can't even talk to you until you surrender" would get fixed as an evolutionarily stable strategy.
