I just gave up on Ready Player One. Because it's shit.

Here's the writing in a nutshell:

So I got out of my chair, and walked into my garage, which looked like the garage from "Better Off Dead," then walked past my Delorian and my Ghostbusters Car. I did a slide like what Tom Cruise did in "Risky Business" into my spaceship, which was the Millenium Falcon, but I named it "Serenity." I hit "WARP DRIVE," but then said, "too slow, let's go with LUDICROUS SPEED" like the speed from the 80's movie "Spaceballs."

That goes on for the whole book. It's not even making any sort of judgements on 80's pop culture. It's just acknowledging that it exists.
