Review: Ready Player One

Ready Player One by Ernest Cline
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Ready Player One is a geek's paradise, plain and simple. From the Dungeons and Dragons references and 80's classic movies to the Atari gaming platform, this novel takes the reader on a fun ride through the virtual reality of the futuristic gaming platform of OASIS. The game's designer, Halliday, was a social recluse who refused to step out of his teenage years in the 1980's and live in the present. This obsession with 80's pop culture and the gaming industry lead to his construction of the greatest gamer easter egg hunt in the future history of gaming. I thoroughly enjoyed this novel as well as Armada. Highly Recommended!
