Ready Player One by Ernest Cline
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
The 80’s were an awesome time to grow up, this was so nostalgic it was truly hilarious
Awesome. Truly a must for anyone who grew up in the 80’s. I am sure Spielberg will do great with the movie as he always does but I can already tell from the trailer that I saw, that it has strayed from the book, so you really should read the book. It was really good.
After a global energy crisis when civilization begins to live more in the virtual world than the real one, the video game designer who designed that virtual world dies leaving clues to three keys, which open gates leading to an Easter egg within his world and the avatar that finds the egg wins his multi billion dollar fortune. The game designer grew up in the 80’s and was obsessed with that time. So the egg hunters study everything pop culture about the 80’s. The book is filled with hilarious 80’s references. I was laughing throughout.
