>but i dont want to read a book i dont have time for that atm.

Sounds like Ready Player One is perfect for you

Its a book for soy consuming bugmen who are 80s video game buffs and have numale cuck beards. its a fan service shitnovel for people with pea brains where the main character is a self insert for the author to reconnect with his childhood and have nostaliga orgasms with every pen stroke.

don't read it

>>85407190
as is the book see: >>85407200

This movie was obviously greenlit when some old out of touch jews thought VR was gonna take off. Then it didn't and they still went thru with it.

This will be the straw that breaks the nostalgia camels back.

>>85407255
i dont have the time to read a shit book

Sculpture, Painting and Music are done better by a machine than by a man. the last refugee was literature. Ready Player One will show VR will kill Literature.

This is what plebs who don't understand the fundamental differences between novels and film as means of storytelling, and think that every book adaptation must be 100% loyal. They also don't mind narrations.

>>85406964
Don't read the book. Listen to the audio book instead. The one read by Wil Wheaton. That is the only form it will ever be good.

You don't understand, this is literally the only role he's ever been good in and all he does is read a fucking book.

>>85407406
>Thematic adaptation = Literal adaptation

and you're calling me the pleb.

I agree it doesn't suit for some books, but there is literally zero reason Ready Player One couldn't be faithfully adapted to a movie.

I disagree with these idiots calling it Reddit-tier but they're not wrong in that pop-culture is thematically central to the story.

>>85407200
amazing how the author perfectly imitated an insufferable reddit poster fishing for upvotes

This reads like a light novel.

>>85407574
Don't double down on it.

>>85407567
There was a treasure hunt made by the wealthiest guy on the planet who made Oasis. He dies and the treasure hunt starts. Who ever wins, gets a fortune beyond fortunes. Since he was a super deep ultra 80s nerd who lived through the 1980s everyone delved into the 1980s looking for all the clues hidden in the Oasis. So, the 80s was IN again.

>>85407613
even light novels have more tact that this. YA fiction too.

Its sad how wil wheaton forgot how to be cool

>>85407630
Okay, but you are missing out. You won't be able to dis this movie harder than you can right now if you don't listen to the audio book. Judging by the trailer, there's almost nothing in the movie that's in the book except the very basic plot and some names.

>>85407200
Is this bait, or an actual passage from the book? This is honestly one of the most cringe-inducing things I've ever read

Do not read the book.

Holy fuck it's awful.

It is the 'le reddit' trope in book form. And if you read it like that I guess you might get something out of it, as analysis on shit.

It might actually work as a movie. But the book is empty of content asides from pandering.

>>85406964

World is an overcrowded multi-cultural liberal utopia.

People escape the diversity by plugging into a VR version of the internet. Our hero likes to inhabit a pathetically childish and 80's nostalgia infused portion of it.

The mysterious guy who made it is giving away control of this virtual world and sets up a treasure hunt/race.

Only our fat nerd virgin and his attractive (but gross and diverse irl) friends possess the HEART and access to wikipedia necessary to unravel the clues who can stop an evil corporation from taking it over instead - despite all of their infinite resources.

The plot, characters and action comprise about 50% of the book. The other 50% is long lists of shit from the 80's.

>>85407923
I figure it will sorta flop due to being lined up with something else that has more marketing.

Are you a grown man or are you a little boy in kindergarten? Paying money to have a stranger read to you. Pathetic. Everything about audio "books" sucks the dignity out of life. It's disgusting, and if we're really going to be pigs with no standards then why don't we all just kill ourselves.

I understand the appeal of this, there's obviously a huge market of readers who will enjoy seeing a laundry list of shit they recognize and love, but the worst crime of this passage is the 'cute geeky girls playing ukuleles' aside that was ripped straight from a high school short story.

for hours and hours
until she reluctantly asks if we can stop
because she doesn't want to miss Battlestar Galactica.
Summa cum laude, baby!
That is what I call erotic.

>>85417044
Have you examined this belief of yours at all? You're deranged at worst and completely irrational at best. Audio books are great for a number of reasons. Just because you have the psychological hang-up of associating them with a parent reading to their child doesn't make them evil, you pretentious loon.
