Ready Player One is the real deal. I could just say "read it! read it!" and have done, but I enjoyed the book too much to leave it at that.
Of course, I suppose it's not for everyone. Ever play Galaga? If I say appreciatively "you're evil", might you respond "chaotic neutral, actually"? Do you have any idea why it would be super cool to drive a DeLorean that was also equipped with a Oscillation Overthruster? If so... you're such a geek! Ahem, I mean, you're squarely in the target readership of this book. It's well-written, engaging science fiction that's full of 80s geek nostalgia.
Ready Player One is Ernest Cline's first SF novel. Let's hope it's not his last.
