We’re just three short weeks from the Ready Player One paperback release day and we’re incredibly excited. We have tons of great things lined up that we can’t wait to share them with you so stay tuned.
In the mean time, remember to enter our Signed Copy Giveaway and check us out on Facebook. Ernie Cline, our fantastic author also has a blog and a twitter that I assure you are worth your attention.
Over and out.
Some great renderings of the post-apocalyptic vertical trailer park from Ready Player One have been popping up on our Facebook page. We’re digging all of these.
If you know of any other cool Ready Player One inspired art send it our way, we would love to see it.
Why are these Ewoks so excited? Because they just realized there are three fresh excerpts of Ready Player One available on Scribd.com, of course.
High-res
Ernie hung out with the Gobbledygeek guys this weekend, and excellence ensued:
Gobbledygeek episode 96, “Talking Turkey: Ernest Cline,” is available for listening or download right here.
This week, Paul and AJ are honored to sit down with Ernie Cline, author of the New York Times bestselling science fiction novel Ready Player One, which arrives in paperback on June 5. The three of them have a pretty epic geek-out session. Oh, they talk about the book, too. Ernie discusses his inspiration for writingReady Player One, what the future holds for the film adaptation, his brutal experience writing the movie Fanboys, and the many virtues of the Alamo Drafthouse. Ernie also mentions how much The Avengers rocked his world, so after the interview, Paul and AJ obsess some more over the movie, its nooks, and its crannies (hint: mirrors!).
Hundreds of vidfeed windows materialized in the air, all over the club. Each displayed a live close-up image of Og in the booth, so that everyone could see his avatar clearly. The old wizard was wearing baggy jeans, sandals, and a faded Star Trek: The Next Generation T-shirt. He waved to the assembled, then cued up his first track, a dance remix of Rebel Yell by Billy Idol.
A cheer swept across the dance floor.
“I love this song!” Art3mis shouted. Her eyes darted up to the dance floor. I looked at her uncertainly. “What’s wrong?” she said with mock-sympathy. “Can’t the boy dance?”
She abruptly locked into the beat, bobbing her head, gyrating her hips. Then she pushed off from the floor with both feet and began to float upwards, drifting toward the groove zone. I stared up at her, temporarily frozen, mustering my courage.
