Reviews
Praise for Ready Player One: "Enchanting... Willy Wonka meets the Matrix . Its geeky characters are geeky cool. And its action is imaginative, always cinematic.[Cline] even weaves a sweet romance into this hero-vs.-villain tale."-- USA Today "The grown-up's 'Harry Potter'...the mystery and fantasy in this novel weaves itself in the most delightful way, and the details that make up Mr. Cline's world are simply astounding. Ready Player One has it all."-- Huffington Post "A rollicking, surprise-laden, potboiling, thrilling adventure story...the best science-fiction novel I've read in a decade."--BoingBoing.com "Ridiculously fun and large-hearted... Cline is that rare writer who can translate his own dorky enthusiasms into prose that's both hilarious and compassionate. You'll wish you could make it go on and on."--NPR.org "A smart, funny thriller that both celebrates and critiques online culture... layered with inside jokes and sly references."-- San Francisco Chronicle "An addictive read... part intergalactic scavenger hunt, part romance and all heart."--CNN.com "Incredibly entertaining...a geek fantasia, '80s culture memoir and commentary on the future of online behavior all at once."-- Austin American-Statesman

He vastly prefers the countless science-fiction movies, books, and videogames he's spent his life consuming. And too often, he catches himself wishing that some fantastic, impossible, world-altering event could arrive to whisk him off on a grand spacefaring adventure. So when he sees the flying saucer, he's sure his years of escapism have finally tipped over into madness. Especially because the alien ship he's staring at is straight out of his favorite videogame, a flight simulator callled Armada-- in which gamers just happen to be protecting Earth from alien invaders. As impossible as it seems, what Zack's seeing is all too real. And it's just the first in a blur of revlations that will force him to question everything he thought he knew about Earth's history, its future, even his own life--and to play the hero for real, with humanity's life in the balance. But even through the terror and exhilaration, he can't help thinking: Doesn't something about this scenario feel a little bit like . . . well . . . fiction?
