    At once wildly original and stuffed with irresistible nostalgia, Ready Player One is a spectacularly genre-busting, ambitious, and charming debut—part quest novel, part love story, and part virtual space opera set in a universe where spell-slinging mages battle giant Japanese robots, entire planets are inspired by Blade Runner, and flying DeLoreans achieve light speed.

    Story

    Born in 1966, I'm perhaps just a few years too old for this book, the members of whose ideal target demographic were probably born around 1972. Still, I had a blast. Author and narrator alike have tongues firmly in cheeks, but the irony is never overdone and there is a real story, and a good one, to back it up. Those for whom the 1980s were formative years will love this book, as will all devotees of nerd culture. The irony of having Wil Wheaton read this book to us is inescapable. He deadpans it brilliantly.
