Ready Player One - Thug Notes Summary & Analysis

[@Scott-J]

What I took away from this book was a question about the value of culture. To whom is 80s pop culture actually valuable in the book? How many people were spinning their wheels trying to be knowledgeable about a trivial pop culture from the past? Wade and Aech even make fun of the "poser gunters". I lived through the 80s, but Wade's detailed knowledge far surpasses what you could learn in real time. But why learn that? In the Oasis (like the internet) you can load your mind up with any number of ideas, philosophies, music, Art, and literature. Without the egg hunt, would anybody care about this snippet of pop culture? Will it still have value after the hunt? How much of the culture of the real world has been lost in the mean time? Does it even matter?

It's trash. I can't stop rereading it, but it's trash. It's such a little boys' adventure book. And it's not a happy ending anymore. You find that they're all likely dead and the story is being told by a brain scan copy from deep space they sent out with humanity's knowledge like the voyager probe.

[@r.babylon2885]

Reading this book struck home SO hard for me. There was a point in my life where I completely abandoned my social life. I had only a single friend, and he was an abusive one. I couldn't relate to anyone on any level. But online, I was accepted and even sought after, whether for my sense of humor or life advice. Eventually, a group gathered online that started pushing people around. My group of friends had a small hand in getting rid of the group. We eventually went our own ways and I decided to get back into society, with confidence. People like to make fun of me for my time online, but that escapism ultimately improved my sense of self-worth and social skills. I even met my wife there. I moved across the country and now live somewhere with great weather and people. It was thanks to my time in isolation that I now have good, real friends. I recommend this book to anyone and everyone.

This movie must to be a Copyright nightmare for Spielberg. I don't know how he's going to pull off the interactive movie scenes from Wargames & Monty Python, not to mention all of the classic video game references. My guess is they'll unfortunately do knockoffs, which will totally kill the book-to-screen translation. But hey, hopefully I'm wrong! Either way, I am pumped for the movie.

[@gabrielhill1220]

Cody Welter right to fair use of intellectual property as long as logos and only likeness are used as opposed to the movie clips themselves. The video games are actually a lot simpler than the movie references as they have been represented in an amalgamation of plenty of other media constituently. It's also a world where those things exist already as opposed to stealing the idea altogether and calling it new.

[@darkmyro]

from what I've heard they are looking at what Warner brothers own and replacing bits of the story with those. so war games will become better off dead and etc. As long as the story is good, and its a fun movie I dont care.

[@hoid5250]

Plots way different now. Forget riddles, think more car racing, at least that's what I'm seeing in the trailer. I'm disappointed too but it's still written by Cline at least

[@Wolta]

From News articles, Spielberg doesn't want to reference any of his own movies in Ready Player One..... which is like half the book x) Plus the fact that he wants to "Americanize" the movie, as to make audience relate to it more. For example he's putting in more Iron Giant and no Leopardon (Asian Spiderman mech in the show).

[@PancakemonsterFO4]

Cody Welter turns out they will simply replace the characters they don’t have the rights on with more iconic characters, like the Iron Gigant. This isn’t a bad think though IF they do it properly

"The post-breakup hustle: work out, stay busy, buy sex dolls."

[@NoobixCube]

I had some trouble with suspension of disbelief when reading Ready Player One. I'm almost a native to Halliday's culture, I've dabbled in the 80s, because I'm not far removed from it. For an entire world of people who were immersed in Halliday's life, they were really slow on the uptake. Of Every geek like Hallidaly got their start in D&D, in their school days. How did it take six years for someone to finally say "It's a D&D thing on Ludus"? The second clue, a house in disrepair, was obvious to me as soon as it dropped. I've played Zork before, and the "Gunters" have played it inside out. It's the first description of the house, there. I just didn't buy that Wade didn't get that clue immediately.

[@robhawkins4677]

[@llamab1769]

weird flex but ok

[@Reliken]

I enjoyed Ready Player One, but I think "Daemon" by Daniel Suarez took a similar plot premise and built something much more adult and meaningful out of it. Whether you liked RPO or not, you should go read that.

[@Fish4Man61]

Similar plot premise, maybe in regards to futuristic/dystopian computer systems and their control on people and a blend of conspiracy. But at their heart, they are entirely different plots. Where is the escapism questions brought in from some other virtual world where everyone runs to? Well, that is nonexistent to a practical sense at all in Daemon, but such concepts are critical to the understanding of Ready Player One.

[@Fish4Man61]

Also, the idea of something more *adult* and meaningful of it, I always have issues with it. Some of the better book series, when it comes to opening the imagination and going places have actually been towards younger audiences. In my opinion, that makes them have more meaning and more impact than some books others have considered more "adult", whatever that means. As if adults should enjoy only certain things. The only barrier that should describe is if it has sexual topics or extremely graphical violence in it's pages. Short of that, the word in my opinion is a stupid descriptor. A more useful descriptor for people who want to say 'complex books and themes', should simply be 'advanced reading', or a variation of that. Of which, many non-adults can even enjoy when they are good book readers.

[@ethanbo-bethan4893]

I have never in my life encountered someone else who read daemon

Maybe since he finds something to live for outside of the oasis, maybe he can use his new influence to achieve a kind of balance without having to hit that switch.

[@minervainjuly8167]

isn't that the exact premise of One Piece? With a bit of Ender's Game sprinkled in?

[@angolin9352]

In the setup (~20 years before anime starts, ~10 before manga begins) to One Piece, a notorious pirate named Gold Roger was being sent to his public execution. Gold Roger had attained such a great degree of wealth, fame, and power that he became known as the Pirate King. At his execution, a man in the crowd asked him where he hid his treasure. Roger's reply was laugh, and answer thus: "My treasure? If you want it, I'll let you have it! Look for it! I left it all at _that_ place." Roger was executed before he could say exactly where "that" place was, but given his reputation, it was pretty obvious. Roger was known for being the only person to sail the entire Grand Line, an incredibly dangerous belt of ocean where nothing makes sense and anything could happen. The series follows Monkey D. Luffy and his crew of Straw Hat Pirates as they attempt to find One Piece, the moniker Gold Roger's treasure became known as. If you're not familiar with One Piece, I really recommend watching the early parts of the anime (skipping the filler arcs, and only watching the subs, as always). Early on, it was pretty different from all the other shounen battle series out there, but with the BS introduced during the Water 7 and Shabondi Archipelago arcs I can't really say that anymore. Honestly, I would tell people to stop watching after Skypia concludes, but then they'd miss out on the best Straw Hat, Brook (introduced in the Thriller Barque arc, which runs after Water 7). Kaizoku-Fansubs did a pretty good subbing run for the first few hundred episodes. They rarely fucked up, but when they did, they fucked up HARD. Their dumb asses are the reason half the One Piece fandom believes that "nakama" (Japanese word meaning something halfway between "friend" and "comrade") has some special, deep meaning in the Japanese language, when really the tight bonds of the Straw Hat crew is just an example of character traits. Still, it's easily the best fansub I've seen, and of course it blows the official subs out of the water just by making an attempt at accuracy.

[@angolin9352]

I really wanna read HxH, but I usually prefer to wait until anime/manga are finished with their run so I can binge the whole series at once. I don't like waiting on the next part of the story, especially with series like Hiatus x Hiatus.

[@SpritemaniacJ]

@Angolin you should lower your expectations for binge watching/reading hunter x hunter. Its becoming more and more obvious that Togashi is slowing down and the story is going to take a long time before it finishes.
