Começo este pequeno comentário afirmando que há muito tempo que não encontrava um livro que me esse tanto prazer ler, ou cuja leitura me entusiasmasse tanto, como este "Ready Player One" de Ernest Cline. É um livro soberbo que entra diretamente na meu top 5 exclusivo dos livros que normalmente classificamos como os livros da nossa vida. É de facto um daqueles livros que marcam quem o lê e que suscitam emoções fortes, para lá de meras reflexões, porque nos leva, de algum modo, a identificar-nos c

Shallow, Soulless Snobbery
What is a geek? A nerd? These are debatable terms, of course, and I consider myself both. In general, geeks are enthusiasts, lovers and obsessors of certain media or subcultures. They love a certain trivia or memorabilia for its own sake . There is nothing wrong with this. People like what they like. Geeks might be obsessed with the 1980s and all of its popular culture, well, just because. Cool. I love the 1990s.

An entertaining and relatively (for me) quick read. Brings back memories growing up in the 80's (and 90's) geeking out on Atari 2600 video games, Anime cartoons, Spielberg movies, and MTV music videos at the height of their coolness and popularity, and otherwise doing whatever I could to escape from reality :-) In Ready Player One, they of course take all of this to a higher level by escaping into virtual reality ... The movie is worth checking out too, but there are some significant differences

I heard of this book, because of a review of Mr. Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore which reckoned that Ready Player One was a lot better. I decided to give it a go, even though this is a book about a video gamer and I don't play interactive video games -tried once or twice years ago, just wasn't for me. (Patience or Tetris or Sudoko, fine, just not video games.)
The premise of the story is that a massive online interactive world was created (called Oasis) years before the start of the story, and it ha ...more

"A really fun and enjoyable listen!"
With the title, truthfully, I was expecting something kind of silly that I may not get through. But I found it to be a very fun listen, and the worst part was when it ended and I could not find any other audio books by the same author! It also helps that I grew up a gamer and was in my twenties during the 80's. ...more
