Ep-34 Ink to Film: Ready Player One (2011 novel) part three

Crystal key in hand, the guys head into the final gate to finish “Ready Player One” by Ernest Cline. In this episode covering level 3 they begin with their overall thoughts on the novel before diving right into the summary. Spoiler topics include: Wade’s invasion of Art3mus’s privacy, James reveals what hit him hardest in this novel, the importance of remembering the real world, a possible Deus Ex Machina, a missed opportunity to have a more nuanced social discussion, the tragedy of the Og-Halliday-Kiera backstory, the possible Voltron joke, the final reference that lands for James, and what a game looks like when you have God-mode activated.

Stay tuned for the last section of the episode where Luke and James talk all about the controversy surrounding this book and its connection to Gamergate. Luke also outlines what he learned about the Easter-egg that Cline hid within his novel.
