I had a lot of expectations for this book. I heard it is wonderful for pop culture junkies, which I consider myself to be, and the premise is really quite wonderful: Willy Wonka meets The Matrix. Unfortunately, as often happens with high expectations, the book didn't live up to them. So let's dive i...
What can I say about this book that hasn’t already been said? I was worried about reading this book, because I don’t have a huge love of 80 pop culture (what can I say I was all about 90’s Nick) but I my love for video games and the internet more than made up for my lack of depth of 80’s knowledge. ...
This book is definitely worth your read if the future or even life in general interest you. It combines so many genres with elements of dystopian futures, technology/ video games, the 80s retro and a little bit of a Star Wars/ Star Trek feel mixed in to it. I have not yet been able to fully proces...
This was not my typical read...I'm not usually into sifi novels but this was kind of hard to catalogue into one specific genre. I guess it was more of a futuristic/dystopian/sifi, packed full of 80's trivia, and it had some realistic possibilities with the way technology continues to advance. The wh...
The game is set. The hour is near. The wait is over. Find a comfortable chair to sit; you’ll be here for a while. Tighten up your gloves. Fasten your seatbelt. Strap on your virtual reality goggles. Log in to the system. Wait for the words to pop up…wait for it…READY PLAYER ONE. Now, you can begin. ...
Set in a near future, this book often looks to the past – the glorious 1980s! Wade Watts lives in a dingy, crowded trailer park and goes to virtual high school. His joy in life is found through the OASIS, an on-line universe created by James Halliday & Ogden Morrow. You can discover space aliens and...
“Going outside is highly overrated.” Aaaaand I'm late to the party. Big news. As usually,I'm reviewing a book after everyone has read it already. Consider me a single released after the entire album had been out for a few weeks. Hopefully the song is good,at least. Ready Player One actually surp...
Ernest Cline takes readers to 2044 and introduces readers to the OASIS where people live their lives in a virtual world and the greatest treasure hunt is about to begin: Wade Wilson is a gunther, which means he devotes all of his spare time in The OASIS (most people do trying to escape the poverty...
I'm going to be one of those weird nerds that didn't adore this book. I know. I'm sorry. But hear me out. I have a theory, and it goes something like this... This book is so full of 80s nerd and pop culture references it has been aptly labeled as nostalgia porn. I know numerous people who have rea...
Spoilers. Also, many swears and ranty bits. * * * Ready Player One is such a pile of shit that I just have no idea what to do with it in my brain. Also what to do with the fact that everyone seems to be hailing it as the Second Coming. It is 2045. The world is broken because of global warmin...
