Welcome to Parallel Magic: The Science Fiction & Fantasy Book Show. Join co-hosts Kate M. Colby and Jonas Lee as they chat about science fiction and fantasy novels over a drink.
In this episode, Kate and Jonas kick back with Wildcide Hard Cider and PBR to talk about Ready Player One by Ernest Cline. Jonas dives deep into his 80s-kid nostalgia – and delivers the show’s first perfect shot rating! The duo also discusses the pros and cons of living in virtual reality, the importance of (in-person) human connection, and possibilities for the upcoming sequel. As a special bonus: five website comments buys you a quick (ear-splitting) jingle from Kate.
