Historia
In the year 2045, reality is an ugly place. The only time Wade Watts really feels alive is when he’s jacked into the OASIS, a vast virtual world where most of humanity spends their days. When the eccentric creator of the OASIS dies, he leaves behind a series of fiendish puzzles, based on his obsession with the pop culture of decades past. Whoever is first to solve them will inherit his vast fortune—and control of the OASIS itself.

5 stars, when it isn't preaching
Revisado: 08-30-22
First, I love this book. Both in print, and audiobook. I love The Five. I wish they were members of my gaming community.
The reading: Mr Wheaton knocks it out of the park.
So, why only 4☆ overall? The author's excellent character development, plotting, and pacing are occassionally interupted by asides that feel a lot like sermons.
Right in the middle of showing us something really cool, the author stops to tell us a set of facts. IF these asides were relevant to the story, that would be one thing. They are Not relevant. And several of these badly interupt the flow of the story.
Oddly, it isn't usually the exposition of an nostalgia element where Mr Cline switches from show to tell. These are typically handled well. The worst offenders are "insights" into the characters that just dont have any impact on the story. (Though I believe several become relevant in book 2.)
Mr Cline should give his readers more credit. Drop the clues, and let us figure it out.
Still very well worth a read and a listen. If it doesnt feel preachy, or like an aside, Great! If it breaks the flow, skim over it so you don't miss anything.

A brilliant piece, comparing and contrasting a Liberterian society with ours. And a great story

Historia
The year is 3030. For the past 300 years, since the Star League collapse and the rise of the Five Successor States, these mortal enemies have fought over space, land, and politics. But a new threat looms just outside the Inner Sphere. The descendants of an old Star League general, the Clans, bred to be the best military force humanity has ever seen, have come to take what they believe is rightfully theirs.

MUST read for all BattleTech fans

While very well read, many crucial scenes were omitted. Sound effects got in the way.

Excellent account of wisdom gained first hand
Revisado: 03-25-21
Gripping historical account, with real world application. Also, it's good to hear from someone who was actually there. Not a politician or a pundit.
