Ready Player One

[Donkey Hoatie]

Read it a couple of years ago. Liked it, but didn't love it to the extent that a number of other people I know did. Lots of cool and fun 80s references. It's definitely worth reading and I'm curious to see how Spielberg will handle the movie. It's going to take a LOT of licensing to get this thing done, but I can't think of anyone more capable of getting those licenses than he would be.

I'm probably late to the party on this one, but has anyone read the Ernest Cline novel, Ready Player One?



It's an absolute geekfest focused around the things geeks loved in the 1980's- D&D, video games, Monty Python, etc. It can be a bit overwritten at times, but it really is a celebration of all things nerdy leading up to our teen years. Ultraman even makes an appearance!


I was going to ask if anyone knew if this was being made into a movie, but a quick google search shows it is. With Spielberg directing! I hope it makes it to the big screen. As I read, all i could think was what a great movie this would make.
