Wolf in White Van

WOLF is the anti-READY PLAYER ONE. Where RP1 is slick dopamine hits of flashy nostalgia, WiWV is dark, misunderstood slices of dangerous nerd culture. Before “nerd” was a term that everyone who likes anything applied to themselves, it was the bully's insult for those who took refuge on the fringes of pop culture. Sean is our troubled guide to this world, and though we won't necessarily like him, we will understand him.

I've read another Darnielle book, UNIVERSAL HARVESTER. I'd recommend that you read this one instead, or just first.
