Re: [PLUG] Ready Player One: A Novel (and about to be a movie)

I feel like I'm in the minority on this one, but I found the book to be derivative of better priors (Snow Crash, Neuromancer, Daemon) and to rely too heavily upon 80's-flavored Memberberries. I kind of wonder whether Spielberg's interpretation won't improve my impressions.

Agree that the book was great.   I have reservations about the movie, mainly because it's Spielberg.  I see it as a grittier story than I imagine Spielberg will translate it.  Hope I'm wrong.

The excellent _Ready Player One: A Novel_ by Ernest Cline is coming out as an awesome looking movie at the end of the month. Go get the book now, and be ready for the movie, which Spielberg is involved with. If you are not familiar with the book and fail to see the relevance to this group, go check out the book. ;-) I'd bring it to PLUG N today for show-n-tell, but my copy is at school being re-re-read by my 13yo.
