The Rule of Thoughts (The Mortality Doctrine, Book Two)
The Rule of Thoughts (The Mortality Doctrine, Book Two) | James Dashner
Reality just became a virtual nightmare in The Rule of Thoughts from MAZE RUNNER author James Dashner, the sequel to The Eye of Minds and the second book in the edge-of-your-seat MORTALITY DOCTRINE series.     Michael thought he understood the VirtNet, but the truth he discovered is more terrifying than anyone at VirtNet Security could have anticipated.   The cyber terrorist Kaine isn’t human. It’s a Tangent, a computer program that has become sentient. And Michael just completed the first step in turning Kaine’s master plan, the Mortality Doctrine, into a reality. The Mortality Doctrine will populate Earth entirely with human bodies harboring Tangent minds. The VNS would like to pretend the world is perfectly safe, but Michael and his friends know that the takeover has already begun. And if they don’t stop Kaine soon, it will be game over for humanity.   From the author who brought you the #1 New York Times bestselling MAZE RUNNER series and two #1 movies—The Maze Runner and The Scorch Trials—comes an electrifying adventure that takes you into a world of hyperadvanced technology, cyber terrorists, and gaming beyond your wildest dreams . . . and your worst nightmares.   Praise for the Mortality Doctrine Series:   “Dashner takes full advantage of the Matrix-esque potential for asking ‘what is real.’” —io9.com   “Set in a world taken over by virtual reality gaming, the series perfectly capture[s] Dashner’s hallmarks for inventiveness, teen dialogue and an ability to add twists and turns like no other author.” —MTV.com   “A brilliant, visceral, gamified mash-up of The Matrix and Inception, guaranteed to thrill even the non-gaming crowd.” —Christian Science MonitorFrom the Hardcover edition.

Mehso-so

I‘ve already stated that I wouldn‘t recommend the first book in the series. This one was better, but not good enough. I feel strongly that if the first two books were combined and edited down to the length of a single book then there might‘ve been something worthwhile going on here.

Daisey Did you like his Maze Runner series? I haven‘t even considered trying this series because that one didn‘t work well for me. 7y
Quasifesto @Daisey Yes, I did like Maze Runner. This series is heavily based on virtual reality like Ready Player One, which I also liked, but it just feels tedious. I‘m at least beginning to like some of the characters, but that should happen before 2/3rds of the series is complete. 7y
vividandromeda I tried reading the first book.. couldn't really get into it honestly. I did read the Maze Runner series which I liked though! 7y
