Ready Player One

Fantastic read.
It's described as Charlie and the Chocolate Factory meets The Matrix or a Harry Potter for adults.
Its a love letter to the 80s and a really intricate and carefully constructed sci fi thriller that makes an interesting commentary on our present and where we may be headed. I loved this book. Fastest 700 page read ever.
I'm sure many of you are familiar and the Spielberg movie comes out soon, I believe. The whole thing is loaded with 80s references as they proceed through the world's most valuable easter egg hunt.
I found some interesting passages that may or may not apply to The Zone that I thought I'd share here today.
