Is Ready Player One a must-read for every gamer?
More like people who are really into the 80's
It's fun but garbage. ALSO, that cover is atrocious.
Am excited for the movie, it should also be fun.
Not really.
It is pretty meh actually.

it was a fun read. however his new book Armada isn't worth reading. literally just ripped off enders game and the last starfighter with a twist you can see coming from a mile away
>>320184414
RPO's depiction of virtual reality and the problems of corporate corruption are looking forward and not to the past. Might actually be the eminent dystopia of our generation, following in the footsteps of George Orwell and William Gibson.
>>320183252
Overrated piece of shit. Read Enders Game instead.

>reading the outdated work of a militantly homophobic mormon instead of the topical work of a champion of progressive values
>>320188483
>Caring about le person who wrote the book instead of how good the book is
*tips*

If you think a book where two teenagers take over the world through blogging about politics is more intelligent or worthwhile than Ready Player One, then you're the retard here. Mormons have a longstanding tradition of writing ludicrous trash going right back to their founder, it's a fact.

>implying my iq is high enough to read and/or talk about other books in the series that weren't even mentioned
Also the first book is great you fag, its a cool Sci fi coming of age story that pulls some edgy shit

or, you know you can read both and make your own opinions? dumb shits
>>320189128
Are you mocking this because it sounds goof or do you think it couldn't happen? Cause one of these makes you sound seriously stupid.
>>320191452
I'm sure you'll take over the world with your blogging any day now, anon
>>320192284
Absolutely not impossible and you're an idiot for thinking otherwise. Lots of small battles are won with social engineering.
>>320183252
Hipster faggot garbage.
>>320184414
Or people who want to remember the reddit version of the 80's.
>>320188483
>>320192481
You don't seem to realize Peter Wiggin doesn't just nudge society into a direction he desires, he literally becomes president of the world through blogging. It's beyond retarded.
>>320192990
Yeah the whole thing is ridiculous, but fundamentally making change through blogging, even large change isn't really something you can laugh at these days. It happens.
>>320183252
this book is fucking horrible.
"i did a thing"
"and then i did a thing"
"then after that i did another thing"
"le 80s reference lol"
>>320194909
You don't read much, do you?

It's a fun book to read but by no means some masterpiece. Like an anon said earlier, it references a lot of "nerd" culture but it mostly sticks to 80s and some 90s.
A friend found it and gave it to me for free so it was alright
>>320188150
>Ender
Enders Shadow was a good book too
>>320183252
It's a redditor's power gaming-related fantasy. It's not bad by any means but, it's not great.
>>320183252
It was decent but I felt the ending was rushed.
It's trash. You're better off reading Bleeding Edge.
Read A Tale for the Time Being and/or The Cybergypsies instead.
>>320192484
>>320196627
What has the novel to do with reddit? Or has it really just become a generic catch-all insult?
>>320196963
edgy
>>320188087
Thanks for the laugh anon.
This book was a weakass 80s jerkoff session. I cringed at a lot of the nonsense in this book. The vr stuff was pretty cool though
>>320197574
It's edgy to call YA trash on an 18+ site? I gave three better suggestions.
Normie trash.
>>320197775
no m8 its b8 for the title lad o7 keep it going m8 XD im from leddit and just here to twoll u guys haha XD
>>320197775
there's some decent YA series like Skulduggery Pleasant
>>320183252
>gamer
If you actually call yourself a gamer, sure. Ready Player One is for people who would describe themselves with "Quirky, Gamer, Confused and/or an emoji in the same sentence.
>>320198138
Decent for their level. Feed is a pretty good YA novel on this subject, but it still tends toward being one-dimensional. Perhaps it's better to just say that RP1 has nothing interesting to say. It's pure entertainment, which if nothing else, doesn't lend itself to being "required reading."
baka desu senpai
>>320198724
This to be honest my family desu senpai.
I took one look at the cover and all the quotes talking about it called it shit like "geek's wet dream" or "geeks will love this."
Reading between the lines, that means the reviewer's saying "I know nothing about this stuff but I assume this is what geeks like" which is the kind of awful shit that spawned ZIMBABWE.
>>320200173
Its a legitimately good throwback to 80's culture though. They even reference shit like the Japanese live action Spider Man show.
