Ernest Cline
What happens when you turn your childhood obsessions with science fiction, fantasy and video games into a novel that contains them — and then that story itself becomes a touchstone for a new generation of fans? That's what happened with Ernest Cline and Ready Player One, the bestselling story of a lone gamer in a dystopian future who has to use his knowledge of 80s pop culture to defeat an evil corporation — in both the virtual and real worlds. In this episode, recorded live at the 2017 San Diego Comic Con, Cline talks with BaN’s Joel Cunningham about his novel and his excitement to see it turned into a film by Steven Speilberg.
