Learn all about the author of Ready Player One, a book published less than two years ago that has catapulted the author to stratospheric heights.

Ernest Cline was planning to drive his tricked-out DeLorean to Austin for a talk about his upcoming novel Armada, but Game of Thrones author George R.R. Martin called him up and asked for it. Cline said he could borrow the car for as long as he wanted to, but asked for a dragon egg in return. Martin obliged.

You might also know him as the writer of the very awesome Fanboys. Fun, fun read.
