Reception

Greg Costikyan reviewed The Mind Game in Ares Magazine #6 and commented that "it is a gripping, tense thriller to which these ideas form an intricate backdrop."[1]

Dave Pringle reviewed The Mind Game (as The Process) for Imagine magazine, and stated that " This is an angry book, full of ambition, frustration, and depictions of torrid sex. It is overwritten and overlong, as all Spinrad's novels are, but it packs an unavoidable punch."[2]
