Dream Park

Niven, Larry, and Steven Barnes. Dream Park. (c) 1981. [New York]: Ace, [1982]. [S. F.] Book Club Edition.

Dream Park, the setting, offers "role-playing games" mediated "via computer simulations and holograms" (dust cover). Points of view in DP include players of The South Seas Treasure Game and of the game masters in their control room. Dream Park comes across as a rather nice place.

In his review of Omnitopia Dawn, Ed Carmien compares that book's "immersive gaming" to that theme in Dream Park (SFRA Review 294 [Fall 2010]: 11).]
