“Ready Player One” is the worst thing nerd culture ever produced
Books that are cringe-worthily bad in every possible way are sometimes, unaccountably, wildly successful and make their authors tons of money. It&#x27;s frustrating if you&#x27;re a) an author, and&#x2F;or b) care about the genre or topic of such a book, but that&#x27;s the way the world works and it exhibits no signs of changing any time soon. I don&#x27;t get it either. No amount of pointing out how superbly awful they are ever seems to help.
