Ready Player One by Ernest Cline
I’m not crazy about reality, but it’s still the only place to get a decent meal. —Groucho Marx Just simply a great fun read, and I just couldn't read it fast enough. Literally a roll call of the 80"s mixed with with all the video games, rock and roll, and snow crash you can take. Quotes; :"The laptop served as my portable research library, video arcade, and home theater system. Its hard drive was filled with old books, movies, TV show episodes, song files, and nearly every videogame made in the twentieth century." Just a few of the authors mentioned; Douglas Adams. Kurt Vonnegut. Neal Stephenson. Richard K. Morgan. Stephen King. Orson Scott Card. Terry Pratchett. Terry Brooks. Bester, Bradbury, Haldeman, Heinlein, Tolkien, Vance, Gibson, Gaiman, Sterling, Moorcock, Scalzi, Zelazny. "Technically, this wasn’t part of my research, but I had a serious cute-geeky-girls-playing-ukuleles fetish that I can neither explain nor defend." Could be my favorite quote, maybe of all time; "Each word appeared on my display as I said it. “No one in the world ever gets what they want and that is beautiful.”" Comments are closed.
