Ready Player One

Postby Melas Zomos » Fri Jul 20, 2012 4:25 pm

I know we have a few gamers on board here. Just finished reading Ready Player One
http://www.amazon.com/Ready-Player-One-Ernest-Cline/dp/030788743X
Not bad and definitely worth the read if you are a gamer or were one. Tons of 80's references and the whole book is built around the games and arcades back then. Strange thing about the book, it is plausible. Easy read, little redundant in the beginning but after that very cool indeed. Recommend it, especially to you Cookie who is still stuck in the 2600 era :finga:

Saw this bit

part love story, and part virtual space opera


And it confirmed my early suspicions that you'd always been a bit of a drama queen :finga:
