Ernest Cline was born in '72. The Duffer brothers were born in '84. Duffer Brothers definitely smear second-hand nostalgia all over Stranger Things but Cline's mainlining his own fuckin' self-grown nostalgia.

I mean yeah. I guess it's nice that Winona Rider is working again. But I mean... Cline had to have read Neuromancer. he had to have read Snow Crash. He had to have read Ender's Game.

And what he took from that was Ready Player One.
