Today we talk about not one, not two, but THREE young adult books dealing with virtual reality! We’ve got (in chronological order) Ready Player One by Ernest Cline, Warcross by Marie Lu, and Otherworld by Jason Siegel and Kirsten Miller. Darcy spoils a whole bunch of things for Shelby! We get into evil corporations, futuristic tech, and how nostalgia ended up the most interesting elements of a genre that mostly takes place in the future.SPOILER ALERT: This episode includes spoilers for everything as usual, including all three of these books. We do not reveal the twist in Warcross (because it’s too good) but would still recommend reading it before listening (because it’s too good). Thanks for listening!
