Ernest Cline was born in Ashland, Ohio in 1972. He co-wrote Ready Player One with Steven Spielberg and directed it. The book has a lot of references to gamer and geek culture that make me shake my head.
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.
