Ready Player One.

I laughed my ass off starting on like page five. It was such a hate read, total hail corporate nostalgia bait slop. Never took the coworker who recommended it serious again.

    Having read the book, the movie is significantly better, and the movie wasn't even that good really.

    Neither were good. I'd argue the book was better for what it is, which is 80s 90s nostalgia porn for Gen X/Millennials. The book was just a string of cultural references and the movie was just bland grey action in the vein of the transformers movies.

    When i saw how bad the movie was, i kept hearing that the book was good. I finally read it and omg i couldn't believe it. It was just like the movie, it was just a guy talking about things that the author liked.
