Theme of Eye of minds

This book can have multiple themes, but this is one that I have thought about is friendship can get you through anything. I thought this because Michael Bryson and Sarah are very good friends and when they are asked to take down this hacker in the virtnet. They would hack because they thought the rules of the game were boring, but they wouldn't do anything bad. They go an adventure to try and find Kaine (the main antagonist). But something happens to Sarah and Bryson so they cant go on and Michael has to go on the adventure on by himself.   

The eye of minds compared to Sword art online

This book named the he of minds by James dashner and another book or manga named sword art online are pretty simlar but they have lots of differences. For one they both take place in a video game. Ironically they both have to wear a helmet like headset to play. Also some one is controlling the players and can kill them in the game and in real life. The differences make these two very different. Sword art online has a love story with in the book(s). The eye of minds has a bunch of hackers because the people in this game don't follow the rules because they say it is 'boring'. Those are the similarities and diferences
