As others have mentioned, the book knows what it is, and doesn't over reach its ability to make the silly entertaining. It's a popcorn action movie of a book. As boatswain mentioned, the book is simi-satire, something that Ready Player One didn't seem to understand when it ripped it off.

Snow Crash is almost kinda satire, but also not. Also, I believe, the first use of the term "metaverae". It's a fun read.
