Sales of this novel do not seem to have suffered: “Ready Player Two” debuted at No. This time, instead of traversing the country, the former spoken word poet, lifelong gaming enthusiast and self-described “full-time geek” conducted a virtual author tour from his home in Austin, Texas. In November, his sequel, “ Ready Player Two,” landed in a very different world - one where the futuristic technology Cline envisioned in “Ready Player One” has not only come to fruition but become indispensable. “It was like a traveling ’80s museum,” Cline said in a phone interview. He’d park out front so fans could snap pictures of themselves alongside the iconic vehicle.
