Other people's head trips are no fun to read about.
This started off promisingly, with a post-apocalyptic world in which our hero makes a living as an Indiana Jones / Humphrey Bogart-type scavenging for old media (VHS and audio cassette tapes, vinyl, etc). I thought the author was even trying to do something literarily clever by never addressing the main character's gender (one of the antagonists finally acknowledges this on page 102 of the 2009 Orb paperback printing, right at the end of Card 4: Behind), but this turns out to be an important plot point. Then it turns into another Loa fest; oh, they were so popular in the late 80's / early 90's.
