Nothing went wrong.

Ready Player One did exactly what it set out to be - entertaining low-level trash for unimaginitive plebs.

Why do you even have to ask? They picked the trailer towers out for the new cover because they realized that was the only even remotely original image the book delivered. Go read Nerd Porn if you want to see what a fedora tipping bugman the author is.

I like to imagine that one day Ernest Cline will reveal his entire professional life has been one long performance, and the fact that we all took the bait and actually enjoyed his regurgitated pile of soulless shit is meant to show us how awful we are
I can't justify how gut-wrenchingly awful he is in my head in any other way unless god isn't real

The book isn't very good. That's what went wrong. And it's not really unusual, bad books come out all the time.

A lot of the book is dedicated to just listing nostalgic things.

This. I remember really liking the idea of piled up trailers, but...it all goes to shit and then all the rest was complete shit.

I still feel bad for taking my time to read that clusterfuck.

Felt like the author wasn't around back then to feel the nostalgia and was cramming for a trivia test.

He is a miserable, disgusting bugman that masturbates too much.

american public school
believe me when I say that this book could be on the higher end of what literature an american student would read during their high school education. Some kids have never touched a book written before 1960, or a book written for actual adults. Americans can easily end up functionally illiterate and it's no surprise that our """""culture""""" is basically non-existent

Assuming this is real, does he not realize there's plenty of porn like that out there? Considering how much of an addicted bugman he undoubtedly is, you'd think he would have come across it.

I knew public schools were bad but I didn't know they were THAT bad.
Thank God my parents sent me to a cozy private school so that I wouldn't be forced to read tripe until college.
