Talk nerdy to me

'Ready Player One' set in the year 2044, the oil is used up, and there's a lack of energy, hardly anyone has a job and because of the unbearable reality escape the most in a virtual reality called OASIS. As the inventor of this VR dies, it stipulates that its considerable assets revert one who finds a hidden from him in the OASIS Easter Egg.
Then catch thousand players to look for it, but for five years without even one finds an indication.
The narrator of the story, a boy named Wade, then finds the first key, after which his pawn occupies the first place in the high score list, and suddenly all over the world is known. In addition, a huge company tries that itself has thousands of treasure hunters in the OASIS and the wealth and the power necessarily want to have this PR, to persuade him to help the company. By all means.

So much for history. Before I write I have to tell two details about me: I was a teenager in the 80s and at least at the time I was sure a nerd. Anyone who can say the same of himself / needs, this book should really love. This whole scavenger hunt works namely exclusively via details to music, movies and games from that time, because the creator of the OASIS was an unworldly Nerd also who has devoured all. Accordingly, the book is pervaded by references to this period, and any reference with which I was able to do something (different films, Rush, Falco, etc.) has, I conjured up a smile on your face.
Conversely, I am afraid that everyone on it does not, can not do much with the book. While it's written in liquid, even in the original English well understood if one is familiar with nerd terms, ME has endearing products and hateful antagonist, but lovingly over the whole story distributed details of the 80 (+ - a few years) make so much space that it all does not help when you have no connection at this time.

But as I said, for me as a child this time the story was wonderful to read and has even led me to hear a few songs from that time again and I 'Pretty in Pink' to view. I now need not necessarily still read a second book, which is constructed according to this concept, but this one time has it really fun.

One point I draw from in order to preserve a little objectivity, therefore four stars.
