Ready Player One

Summary

Ready Player One is a science fiction novel written by Ernest Clint in

2011. It was made a film directed by Steven Spielberg. Ready Player
One takes places in the futuristic setting of the year 2044, with the
entire world held in the clutches of many global, economic, and social
problems like overpopulation and global warming. Many people, like
Wade Watts use a virtual reality video game called OASIS to escape
from these hardships. It is a type of MMORPG, or Massively
Multiplayer Online Role- Playing Game. The game was created by
James Haliday who had announced that he had left something called
an Easter egg inside OASIS. To find the egg, a player must find three
keys and unlock three gates. The first person to find the Easter egg
would inherit Halliday’s massive fortune and the entire corporation of
OASIS.

Wade lives in a poverty-stricken mobile home tower community.

His only living relative is his Aunt Alice, with whom he has a strained
relationship. Wade spends most of his time in his hideout van, where
he accesses the virtual world of the OASIS. Parzival completes the
Copper Gate through a series of puzzles from many other real-world
video game and movie references. Art3mis and Aech, Wade’s friend,
both also make it through the gate. Unfortunately, a multinational
corporation, Innovative Online Industries (IOI), also notices Wade. The
company’s main goal is to take complete control of OASIS and
monetize everything. The head of operations, Nolan Sorrento, sends
Wade an email, offering him a job to help IOI find the Easter egg.
Wade refuses. Sorrento offers him five million dollars to tell him
where the first key and lock are; again, Wade refuses the offer.
Parzival unlocks the Jade Gate in a combined effort of Blade Runner,
arcade games, and the band Rush, and finds a clue that IOI could not
have known. Wade is able to use his tech skills through Parzival to
hack IOI’s system and bring down their defenses surrounding the
Crystal Gate. An epic battle ensues. Parzival unlocks the gate, but IOI
uses an item called a Cataclyst to destroy everything: the castle, the
gate, and all the avatars. Parzival, though, has an extra life (from the
Pac-Man game quarter previously thought useless), and finally enters
the Crystal Gate. He plays through many different characters from
video game and movie pop culture, and gains complete control of
OASIS. He resurrects his friends and wipes the IOI avatars.

Moral Lesson

Use Technology Wisely

How will you apply it?

We need to use technology wisely because if we do not use

it properly, then it might turn into a bad situation like the
company IOI wants to steal the prize and wants to harm Wade
Watts in real life. We need to always remember to use technology
properly and to not use it in harming other people
