Review: Ready Player One

Ready Player One by Ernest Cline

Finally make my way to this book after many recommendations. A huge fan service to anyone that grew up around the 80’s. Very enjoyable if you have ever been interested in gaming, geekiness and 80’s in general.

From a geeky point of view, I would question the possiblity of some of the technologies involved, but you can certain see a lot parallel to what’s available right now (VR, automation, social network that actually disassociates you from the society)

One quote was quite apt. I am paraphrasing, “Since everyone can vote online now, only popular actors and celebrities can win elections”.

Minimal amount of YA romance, which is a plus for me.
