Ready Player Two
More game-world spectacle and pop culture, if you want a lighter and less brutal take on the genre.

Redshirts
Also mocks the logic of a deadly, scripted setting for its characters, but in a tighter, wittier book.

The Kaiju Preservation Society
Another fast, fun sci-fi with monsters, banter and cheerful absurdity.
