I stumbled upon the book Ready Player One at my library, and I LOVED it. It's a veritable nerdgasm of pop culture references. (Badass scifi author John Scalzi nailed that description.) It's a tale of a kid in the future trying to find easter eggs in a virtual world to inherit Steve Jobs' fortune. I mean, not Steve Jobs, "James Halliday".
At one point, there's a party where R2D2 DJ's, and a Klingon bartender serves Pan-Galactic Gargleblasters.
It's a really fun ride, with very clever nerd culture references.
