Ready Player One--so I'm an old lady...
« on: February 11, 2014, 03:13:07 PM »
by Ernest Cline...

any one want to let me in on a secret... (and no, not the gate stuff.) Because if my conspiracy mind is on full, I don't like the message.

I have and it was a fun read... for the most part.  Too much phenomenal cosmic whatever toward the half-to-three quarter mark and I know I could a little less than half of the cultural references but still.

As far as conspiracy stuff, I don't know what you're talking about.  Maybe its been too long since I read the book?

I don't know what she is talking about either, and yes, I've read the book. I liked it, as it is ideal for people my age.

OK. Ignore my conspiracy crazed mind. I think Almost Human recreated a touch of the world in recent episode in a great way.
