WIRED magazine’s book podcast, Geek’s Guide to the Galaxy, featured an interview with renowned geek author Ernest Cline, where he raves about Star Trek: The Next Generation star Wil Wheaton‘s audiobook narrations of his bestselling first novel, Ready Player One, and his newest work of geek-tastic science fiction, ARMADA. Here’s what he had to say:

And, not only does Cline love Wil Wheaton’s narration of ARMADA, but Wheaton himself also loved recording it. See his tweets that feature photos straight out of the recording studio!
In the booth for Armada. I like to perform audiobooks in the dark, with one light on the music stand for the script. pic.twitter.com/pSIct0DALT
