was the delorean time machine in the book?
Yes, as one of the vehicles Wade drives in the OASIS (he also uses an X-wing to travel between various planets as well, IIRC). The author Ernie Cline also drives a Delorean IRL. Edit - actually, yes, he does.
Edit 2 - book spoiler (probably not in the film):
Around his 30th birthday, James Halliday bought and restored one of the original DeLoreans used in the Back To The Future films.
Wade obtained one in the OASIS by completing a Back to the Future quest on the planet Zemeckis. The DeLorean came outfitted with a (nonfunctioning) flux capacitor, and several additions to its equipment and appearance. First, he’d installed an artificially intelligent onboard computer named KITT (purchased in an online auction) into the dashboard, along with a matching red Knight Rider scanner just above the DeLorean’s grill. He also outfitted the car with an oscillation overthruster, a device that allowed it to travel through solid matter. Finally, to complete the ’80s super-vehicle theme, he slapped a Ghostbusters logo on each of the DeLorean’s gullwing doors, and added personalized plates that read ecto-88.
