"Overdoopod" is a book about escapism that to not like how seductive is it to then escape into it and not think about some of the larger concerns yeah like I understand why people feel that way but I just it's it's not a perspective I am interested in forwarding on this book podcast that we do that seems reasonable to me so yeah thanks to one of our patreon supporters Ashley for recommending the book to the show a couple other people over the years have asked us to get to this book. "Next week I'm reading the new life by Orhan Pamuk tune in all right sounds fun all right everybody thank you so much for listening"
Put another quarter in the coin slot folks, because it's time to talk about Ernest Cline's Ready Player One. Topics include bad fan culture, the narrowness of the characters' "exhaustive" knowledge of 80s popular culture, and why the critical response to this book has shifted so much in just a few short years.
