Ready Player One

by Ernest Cline

“People who live in glass houses should shut the fuck up.”

It was the dawn of new era, one where most of the human race now spent all of their free time inside a videogame.

I’m not crazy about reality, but it’s still the only place to get a decent meal.

Capitalism would inch forward, without my actually having to interact face-to-face with another human being. Which was exactly how I preferred it, thank you.

Each component of my rig was a bar in the cell where I had willingly imprisoned myself.

“No one in the world ever gets what they want and that is beautiful.”

You know you’ve totally screwed up your life when your whole world turns to shit and the only person you have to talk to is your system agent software.

Going outside is highly overrated.
