Are the books taken from the series or vice versa?

Nope, the books came first. The first Game of Thrones book was published in 1996... Nearly 15 years before the TV series premiered on HBO. However, I believe the plot of the TV series passed up that of the books this past season.

Ready Player One was a great read for anyone interested in V/R and a dystopian world. It's a history of gaming as well. Also American Shaolin is a great read and insight to the culture of China during the early 90's
