It occurred to me recently that Ready Player One came out in 2011, right around the very start of the “if you’re a 90s kid you remember this” age of the internet and before the big nerd culture boom so this book was written back when the “nerd who knows everything about games and books” was still niche and unexplored. The idea of “wow that nerd is actually cool” was still new. Now though, we’re inundated with nerd culture. YouTube channels are tripping all over themselves to share top ten facts about Ferris Bueller or the Shining. Having a car in a video game that looks like the ghost busters car sounds like something you can do in Fortnight. Memorizing obscure media already had its hay day and now we know that it still doesn’t substitute for a personality.
