So, you're saying I shouldn't read it?

>“I wish someone had just told me the truth right up front, as soon as I was old enough to understand it. I wish someone had just said: “Here’s the deal, Wade. You’re something called a ‘human being.’ That’s a really smart kind of animal. Like every other animal on this planet, we’re descended from a single-celled organism that lived millions of years ago. This happened by a process called evolution, and you’ll learn more about it But trust me, that’s really how we all got here. There’s proof of it everywhere, buried in the rocks. That story you heard? About how we were all created by a super-powerful dude named God who lives up in the sky? Total bullshit. The whole God thing is actually an ancient fairy tale that people have been telling one another for thousands of years. We made it all up. Like Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny. “Oh, and by the way … there’s no Santa Claus or Easter Bunny. Also bullshit. Sorry, kid Deal with it.”
― Ernest Cline, Ready Player One

I read plenty of trashy genre fiction and enjoy it, but Ready Player One is just cringeworthy pandering to people who grew up with early videogames, with an annoying 'fight da man' narrative that sticks to formula so strictly I'm shocked anyone can read it and not weep at the sheer audacity of cliche.
If I had to sum up the book in 3 words, they would be 'Us Nerds, amirite ;)'

Not wrong, but I had to squint from the cringe.

If The Martian is "Le Reddit the Novel" then Ready Player One is "9Gag: A Totally Epic Book :^)"
That being said I still actually enjoyed it. Complete pandering garbage obviously and the worst parts of all YA throughout. I'll never read it again, but I enjoyed it for the same reason I enjoy other bad YA like Eragon, and if you like vidya then it's fun trash out of ten.
