ready player one would actually be kind of brilliant if it were a satire. i don't think there's any way to read it that way, but for anyone who argues that art is about author intention this book is a pretty good example of the author unintentionally making something interesting.

the death of the author makes a lot of shitty art good

We can still say it has value. It's a product of its times. So much so that it doesn't even know it. It's like Elliot Roger's manifesto.

Ready Player One is a wonderful example of why we shouldn't always get what we want. Reading it is like downing a dozen Happy Meals - you wind up feeling obese and playing with cheap plastic toys afterwards.

No discernible talent.
