Jules is a young man barely a century old. Hes lived long enough to see the cure for death and the end of scarcity, to learn ten languages and compose three symphonies...and to realize his boyhood dream of taking up residence in Disney World.Disney World! The greatest artistic achievement of the longago twentieth century. Now in the care of a network of volunteer adhocs who keep the classic attractions running as they always have, enhanced with only the smallest hightech touches.Now, though, it seems the ad hocs are under attack. A new group has taken over the Hall of the Presidents and is replacing its venerable audioanimatronics with new, immersive directtobrain interfaces that give guests the illusion of being Washington, Lincoln, and all the others. For Jules, this is an attack on the artistic purity of Disney World itself.Worse: it appears this new group has had Jules killed. This upsets him. (Its only his fourth death and revival, after all.) Now its war: war for the soul of the Magic Kingdom, a war of evershifting reputations, technical wizardry, and entirely unpredictable outcomes.Bursting with cuttingedge speculation and human insight, Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom reads like Neal Stephenson meets Nick Hornby: a comingofage romantic comedy and a kickbutt cybernetic tour de force.

This book has some intriguing ideas, but it dragged a little in the middle. The concept of living in a digital afterlife is cool, but I felt like the pacing could have been better. Still, I enjoyed the characters and the overall premise. Would recommend to those who like philosophical takes on technology.

A unique twist on a classic story
I’ve read a lot of sci-fi, but this one really brings something different to the table. The way the author blends technology with themes of mortality is just fascinating. I found the characters relatable and the setting in the Magic Kingdom was a fun backdrop. Definitely worth a read if you're into speculative fiction!

Thought-provoking and original
I absolutely loved this book! The concept of a digital afterlife in a familiar setting is brilliant. The humor mixed with serious themes kept me hooked throughout. I finished it in just a couple of days. If you're a fan of speculative fiction, you won't want to miss this one!
