Who is Ernest Cline?
Ernest Cline is an American science fiction writer born in 1972 in Ashland, Ohio. Before his novels reached bestseller lists, Cline worked as a spoken word artist, screenwriter, and full-time geek — credentials that inform every page of his fiction. His debut novel catapulted him from cult favourite to mainstream phenomenon, blending virtual reality adventure with an obsessive love for 1980s pop culture. Beyond prose, Cline has written screenplays and contributed to the adaptation of his own work, maintaining creative involvement as his stories moved from page to screen. His writing occupies a specific niche: science fiction that treats nostalgia as both weapon and salvation, where knowing the lyrics to an obscure 1980s song might genuinely matter.
