Episode 28: Ready Player One by Ernest Cline

Welcome back, Literary Slummers! Do you like overly explained narratives, casual sexism, and the glorification of anti-social assholes? Then have we got a book for you. We hated this one so much that Em had to leave about 30 minutes of discussion on the cutting room floor (bless you, Em). Tune in as we attempt to sort out the plot from the exposition in Ready Player One by Ernest Cline. This fortnight, Anna is joined by a special guest, Lindsay!
