Today's book club discussion was on "Ready Player One" which we all found to be enjoyable for a "dystopic" near future. Perhaps this was due to the deep down geeks in each of us and the amazing amount of 80's trivia the author used to move the story along. There was much to laugh about and many similarities to today's youth lost in their online game-playing obsessions. Most of us were not familiar with gaming past the age of Pac-Man but found the story telling compelling and a fairly quick read. The protagonist lived a mundane life until he discovers a little game where his natural abilities excel and his need to open up to partners creates a new and valuable reality. The author ERNEST CLINE has an active website http://readyplayerone.com/ and resides in Austin, Texas.
