I’ve lost track of how many times I’ve reread this novel. Sometime about the audiobook and story I find so easy to listen to. Maybe that it calls to my geek at heart, I just find this whole world extremely interesting. Can relate to being obsessed with a fictional world and wanting to know everything about it.
On this reread there were a couple of small things that made me roll my eyes or cringe, but overall found it entertaining (some derogatory name calling and the use of life sized dolls).
Interesting to see some of the concepts introduced in this story come to life several years later (virtual learning, use real money to purchase items for avatars)

“Clothing, furniture, flying cars…These items were nothing but 1’s and 0’s stored in the Oasis servers”
Wade does have some social issues, probably due to growing up in a virtual world.
“Are you breaking up with me?”
“No…we are not together, we’ve never even met”
And he was not a great friend. But it was all part of creating some conflict in the story.
Wouldn’t it be amazing to live in a world where all of this was free at your local library.
“ every book ever written, every song ever recorded and every movie, television show, video game”
