Not a biopic!

What if it was secretly Kubricks biopic.

Truly the man is a master.

Theres nothing more uninteresting than a main character with infinite plot armor like the fat nerd in Ready Player One had zzzz

I'd definitely go see this though since the whole oasis thing was a cool concept, albeit nothing new

Just read it... I agree the book is flawed.. I fucking hated the first time the main character interacted with the antagonist, that entire scene was awful, but the book has an undeniable 'heart' to it. Something tells me the author has spent some time interacting online with overly self conscious geek girls though, that part rang true and helped carry me past some of the more really cringe worthy stuff.

Every. Line. Of. Dialogue.

I got this book for xmas from a close friend who noticed that James Halliday and I share WAAAYY too many things in common. Born in the summer of 1972, Atari for Xmas in 1979, Adventure on of my favorite games that I played over and over, D&D as main path to social interaction, Latin in High School, etc. I knew that the author had to be also born in 1972 because there are just things in the novel that you would only be tuned into if you not only grew up in the 80s, but were of just the right age when they happened.

i think it gets most of its credit from how completely 80s it is, but also because as weirdly depressing as this particular dystopia is, it certainly seems more plausible than the Hunger Games or any of that line of Teenage fantasy ilk.

I thought RPO was ok and look forward to the movie, but I really, really wouldn't read the next book the author wrote - Armada. Its really terrible. One decade later (90s) in nostalgia, and is just a straight up ripoff of Last Starfighter but very poorly written.

The best part was listing things we liked 30 years ago. The worst part was the writing and characters and story and dialogue.

I couldn't get through it. The first scene where the antagonist is in his cool friend's play room and they have a back-and-forth argument about game scores and shit, my god.

The worst thing is how forced the nostalgia in Armada is. RPO might've gone a little overboard with the 80's references, but they actually worked since they were integral to the plot and moved it forward. In Armada, it's like someone is learning a new language so they keep trying to inject the latest words they learned into every conversation. There's really just no point to a majority of it and it's so cringey that it makes me wonder if Cline will end up being a one-trick pony.
