Discussion Post: Ready Player One by Ernest Cline
Hi everyone! I hope you all enjoyed reading this month's book. My internet connection has been touch and go at best this week, so let me cut to the chase and get to the questions!
1. The plot of this book centers largely on the contest that James Halliday set up in his Will. What did you think of the contest?
2. Your OASIS avatar was just given unlimited powers (like Og's, Halliday's, and Parzival's). What would you do and where would you go first?
3. If you were Halliday and you were creating this contest, what books, movies, TV shows, etc, would you incorporate into your challenge?
4. Even though the world in 2044 was a pretty bleak place to live, there were some good things about the OASIS. What were some of your favorite things about it?
5. Most of the relationships in this book are online relationships. What did you think of the relationships? What did you think of the portrayal of online relationships?
6. Anything else you want to discuss?
