Book Review
Ready Player One | Ernest Cline
I’m about 7 years late on this (and even 6 months late for the movie hype), but Ready Player one was a great little sci-fi novel that uses 80’s pop culture as a background for a bunch of insightful commentary about our modern tech culture and where it may be heading. A lot of fun, and worth reading if you’ve missed it for this long like me.
