Also mostly the plot of Ernest Cline's Armada, with a megaton of unsufferable 'tude and pointless 80's references sprinkled on it. Those references include "the last Starfighter", of course. It's terrible.

The podcast "372 pages we'll never get back" with Mike and Connor from MST3K/rifftrax did its second season on it. Kind of a book club with books they assume they're going to hate (mostly). First season was Ready Player One, from Cline too, so they chose this one next because they were astonished that Armada could be considered the bad one compared to RP1.
