This wicked poster should give you an idea of what I meant when I described the prospect of a "Ready Player One" movie as a licensing nightmare (and its only scratching the surface). It's for an Ernest Cline signing later this month at Mysterious Galaxy in San Diego.
Overall, I liked the book. I'm not trying to rag on it, I just want other people (who might not be unwashed, unshaven, obese nerds who love to sneer at the plebes) to understand the problems with this book. I think the really, really geeky will love the parts I've outlined above, but most normals will find them childish and unpleasant.
