God, I sort of wish I were going back to college and being forced to read this, because I think I'd end up dropping out again...

It's actually a Herculean feat if Cline wrote an entire sellable book without a single original thought. The only way this guy could be any more amazing is if his writing process was entirely done by reading top 10 X articles

It reads like somebody stumbled on to a hilarious glitch tinkering with a chatbot. Its barely human. Like adhering so hard to schtick it just generated itself based off rules of how often it has to reference something.

Anyone listen to "I don't even own a television" the Goon podcast about terrible books. They summed it up well. "Ready Player One is a horrible book for boring people."

The excerpts read like if Holden Caulfield (spelling?) grew up in an 80s suburb. I see it being taught in high schools soon.

Spielberg. If you remove the four letters after S and P, you get sperg. The letters removed can thusly be rearranged to spell the word bile. Bile sperg.

Spatial posted:No loving way. These are all actual quotes from the book. An amazing piece of dystopian science fiction. I feel like I've been transported to a dark future where books are written by an AI. "Nostalgia is in right now, Dave. This will sell. I predict at least forty percent market penetration within six months." "Why are you calling me Dave, TypewriterX? What's with the HAL voice?" "Nostalgia is in right now, Dave."

Whoa, I just noticed, if you freeze frame the trailer at 1:51 and look closely, you can read the title to a badly written book.

!Klams posted:The book is just a series of lists of details. That's what makes it so poo poo. As I strapped myself into the 1989 Batmobile (directed by Tim Burton) my eye caught sight of the 55-mph speed limit sign. "Fifty-five? I can't drive fifty-five!" I said with a grin as I remembered the 1980s Sammy Hagar hit which was released shortly before he took over the role of lead singer of Van Halen from David Lee Roth. My Batmobile sped up along Route 66 (a very historically significant highway, travelled by folks like Elliot Ness, who was featured in the 1987 Brian De Palma epic "The Untouchables" and suddenly I noticed a car in the right lane coming up fast. It was a 1981 Cadillac Seville. As I laid eyes on the all-too-familiar bumper sticker, I said to myself, "Out on the road today, I saw a Deadhead sticker on a Cadillac." Life and fate had become one as I realized that what I was seeing exactly echoed the 1984 Don Henley hit, "Boys of Summer". having written this godawful pile of poo poo I am now just as qualified as Steven Spielberg and Ernest Cline to make a steaming shitpile of a film about 80s pop references apropos of nothing
