If you play as King Hamlet you can use your ghost powers to revolutionize the world. There is a part of the book where you are in a 1980s interactive fiction game ("look room"). If you play as Ophelia you get to invent central heating or participate in a dating simulator or play a death-chess match. This is the only version of Hamlet that I know of not to omit the pirate battle. The book has a lot of fun mocking Hamlet if you follow the "path" that Shakespeare himself did, the narrator constantly mocks you for your bad decisions. You can play as Hamlet, Ophelia, or dead King Hamlet, trying to avenge the murder of King Hamlet. Except way more fun than I remember any of those books actually being. This is the most entertaining book I've read in a long time- a "Choose Your Own Adventure" version of Hamlet. To Be or Not To Be: a chooseable-path adventure by Ryan North, William Shakespeare, and YOU
