Review: Ready Player One by Ernest Cline
Started at 8, stayed up till midnight, had to have the book wrestled out of my hands, and up at 6 to finish it off by 9. Haven’t done that in a long while.
The author tugs on major geek anchor points.Hundreds of references to everything you cared about growing up, from Firefly to Star Wars to Pac Man.That familiar grandeur of strapping on a sword to your elf avatar, to complete a quest only you can. That hope that immersive online lives will take off during your lifetime.
It’s a lot of fun. Let the book sweep you away.
