I remember hearing about it as a, it was one of the first modern books that I'd heard of being like, this is about video games and video game people like it. And then the world changed or the world revealed itself. The world sat upside down. Yeah.

Put another quarter in the coin slot folks, because it's time to talk about Ernest Cline's Ready Player One.
