In today's world of escapism coupled with frustration at the educational system (especially in the US), this seems like an ingenious way to teach individuals through several life times in a matrix type of world is intriguing though not plausible.  MIxing in metaphysical discussions was artfully done, though at times a bit forced.  Characterizations were interesting.  I will look forward to future books to get a better background on the premise of the game, the calculated risks for gains and mostly loss (like playing the stock market but with real nasty consequences for losers in the book and at such a young age too!), and details on some of the "old" folks in the book.
