    Instead Spielberg put a bunch of lame movie references in, because he’s too senile to understand the game references.

    Have not seen the movie, but that sounds like Spielberg nailed the tone of the novel. The book reads like a thinly veiled essay by an aging Gen X geek about how pop culture peaked during the authors childhood and the world would be perfect if we could go back to the 80s.
