Fanboys Scribe Pens Ultimate Nerd Sci-Fi Novel, Ready Player One

Ernie Cline is living the geek dream. The Fanboys screenwriter, who once worked in tech support to pay the bills, has turned a love of all things nerd into a full-time gig scrawling yarns about, well, all things nerd.

After he spent a roller coaster couple of years getting the Star Wars-steeped script he wrote for Fanboys made into a film, he decided his skills might be put to better use as a fiction writer.

Now, he’s on a whole new ride — releasing his first novel, Ready Player One, while simultaneously watching the book be developed for the big screen (it was optioned by Warner Bros.).
