This guy can really write an amazing sentence or fifty. So much smart n snappy dialogue that I find myself skimming over it sometimes in the hope of getting to a pocket of plot.
Now there are several pretty major subplots intertwining til ya don’t know which is imperative and I usually like that, but there’s some kind of cheese in the mix here thats not working for my palette. It gets boring-ish fairly regularly but he’s just such a great thinker and writer of amazing sentences that I’m definitely sticking it out til the end. I’m halfway thru now.

Ready Player One. Holyfrigginmole’. The most fun you can have alone with your clothes on. Uber nerd shit taken to a new level. Or maybe to its logical conclusion.
It’s like he wrote a sci fi novel for the sole purpose of name checking the zillion things (video games, sci fi books/80s movies etc) he loves the most. And he ended up being really really good at it.
Get this book.
And by the way I love that he name checks Richard K Morgan in the same breath as William Gibson, Neil Stephenson and JRR Tolkein. Hellzyes.

Hey look at this. The Dandy Warhols ‘WOW Signal’ Guitar Pedal – $359.00 .
August 15th, 1977: Earth received its first message from the depths of outer space. The Big Ear radio telescope at Ohio State University picked up a strong 72-second signal from the constellation Sagittarius, detected by astronomer Jerry R. Ehman. Circling the frequency code of the signal, 6EQUJ5, on the computer printout Ehman wrote, “WOW!” causing the alien message to become forever known as “The WOW! Signal.”
Two precise values by different astronomers were given for this mysterious frequency, 1420.4556Mhz & 1420.356Mhz. Hydrogen resonates at a frequency of 1420.40575177Mhz, which is near dead center of the two values. Since hydrogen paired with oxygen creates water, the building block for life, this was a meaningful frequency for researchers. Was intelligent life out there trying to communicate with us?
The WOW! Signal was never heard again, despite several searches with a multitude of equipment. At Spaceman, we haven’t given up on extra-terrestrial communication and through much research and development with a group of our country’s greatest stargazers, we have created a way to speak back to our friends in space. Working with a group of research scientists known as The Dandy Warhols, an Alien Fuzz Communicator was born, dubbed The WOW Signal.
This device is like no other we’ve come across. The main signal manipulator utilizes a mix of modern silicon transistors, a vintage Soviet germanium transistor and a custom integrated circuit. This signal can then be modulated in a unique way by a low-frequency oscillator, which can be fine tuned to transmit the desired message to our friends in deep space.
Along with The Dandy Warhols research group, we are introducing a special First Edition of the device to coincide with the release of their new study, “This Machine.” This special edition is electroplated in raw Copper, which will oxidize, giving each enclosure a unique personality over time. It also features a vintage 1959 US Aerospace dimable indicator light, engraved knobs and includes an audio compact disc of the Warhols’ “This Machine” study. Limited to strictly 30 units, this edition is sure to be an exciting piece for the avid astronomy fan, or someone simply looking to reach out to our celestial neighbors in style. To send communications, an external instrument – guitar, bass, or other sonic producing unit – and amplification device must be utilized.
Are you ready to make contact?
Limited to strictly 30 units, the pedal will ship within 6 weeks of ordering and will come with a free copy of ‘This Machine’ featuring ‘The Wow Signal’ signed by the band. The pedals are covered by a 3 year warranty. Returns not accepted.

Well if ol Ernie was still writing this book somewhere I assure you I would just continue reading it for however long he kept going. Today is a good day to pick up a used copy amd start reading it.
It has such a cool style which carries you through the rather lengthy setup but I guess I already said that before I left for tour. Anyhoo, wow this is such a beautiful place to go. Read it very slowly.
