"There are times when I fear that, eschewing pop cultural filth, I might be depriving myself of some hidden nutrient. In that spirit did I open Ready Player Two. In the course of a single page, this malefactor namechecks Max Headroom, The Thirteenth Floor, The Matrix, Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, and somehow —improbably— 867-5309 Jenny. Dear reader, that was page five. Of the prologue."
— Tycho, Penny Arcade, describing the book
