The Geek Wants Out/Ready Player One

I'm posting this epic spoken word by Ernest Cline, with a warning that the contents may touch a few of you to your geeky-center chewy-core. I know it did mine. And if you haven't read his book Ready Player One, and possibly have a hidden love for cyber punk, 80's pop culture, video games(cough cough), all things geekdom then I highly recommend you spend a tiny bit of time (even if the only time you can spare from the "real world" or playing Destiny is your bathroom reading time) to imbibe this one!

  • Thank you for that. I'm reading RP1 now, usually on my bus commute to and from Destiny…er…work. It's so good. I was born in '75 so it basically touches on everything I grew up with (including pen and paper rpg's) Strange though, I do feel a sort of discomfort in how easy it is to quantify being a child of the 80's is. It's like being retro-actively labeled a hipster. Actually came looking for a possible connection between it and Caydes Treasure Island. Hope I didn't just "Pull a Pendergast"
