I'd say the book would be a great buy.  It adds new layers to the game that
I found intriguing.  There's a social setting here that's absent in the
videogame - though it's not as detailed as what's given in GURPS: Blue
Planet.  I think if he's that fascinated with the Alpha Centauri concept,
he'd get a lot out of the depth presented in GURPS:AC.  And if he's a new
GURPS player... heck, yeah.  Give him a hook through a familiar setting.
