Ready Player One


I've been a fan of Ernie Cline for some time now (He's responsible for the screenplay to the super-funny FANBOYS movie and for a lot of awesome spoken-word poetry) this is my favorite piece of his Dance Monkeys Dance. So when 'READY PLAYER ONE' came out, his first novel, I couldn't wait to read it. And I did, and I loved it, I absolutely loved it. It's a very enjoyable sci-fi near-future distopian story by itself, but it's built on a bunch of 80s pop culture reference so if you were a kid or teenager during the 80s you'll get the most out of the book. I loved it so much I had to do some fan-art, so I did this poster and to make it a bit useful I used it to promote his reading in San Diego. Hope you like it, and really, read the book if you haven't, you won't regret it!
