There are a lot of movies refrenced. Here is a list of them in ORDER OF IMPORTANCE to the BOOK. So if a movie only gets a mention in the book it is at the bottom of the list. https://letterboxd.com/barcade/list/films-referenced-in-the-book-ready-player/detail/

Well I'm sure tumblr will happily accept your passionate SJW opinions and thoughts. Might I recommend some books you should definitely read. Definitely some of my favorites!

Mein Kampf Hitler Youth The Quran The Art of War

Oh and I really love the classic Huckleberry Finn Just some good fun books that is am sure you can find solace in.

But be careful because as you have proven, once a book is started, it must be finished.

Best of luck to you in the real world and the other world you live in.

Good on you for pointing this out. They're using the images from the listing on ebay. For the future I'd recommend using something like Privacy for online purchases. Definitely not for this but for other purchases it would keep your actual cards safe.

Here's one that lists all the movie references (at least all the movies mentioned explicitly throughout the book):

I've given this some thought as well.

My idea was to use federated servers. Similar to Nextcloud's federation.

• The game dev company can host their own "central world(s)" based on the game play that they've created and distribute software for creating other worlds based on a template.
• Other users/organizations can use those templates to build their own self hosted, customized worlds.
• All worlds would be connected via federation. A new world pops up, they generate a federated ID, register it with a central database, then go through some sort of request/application process for having other worlds accept it.
• The new world will only be accepted into the "universe" if they can get (let's say) three different worlds to accept their federated ID. (This would ensure redundancy in case a node in the middle of a number of connections ever goes down).
• Each individual instance of the game can only accept a limited number of world to world connections. (this would encourage spreading the love so no one node holds most of the connections)
• Each connection would also act as the path for getting from one world to another that it is connected to.
• An in-game fee can be charged for moving from world to world (or instance to instance if this were created in a way that allows for multiple planets in an instance).

My thoughts for how the game play would look is like mixing Eve Online systems with custom No Man's Sky planets. And each planet can be customized by the host to look and play however they want.

This was just a random thought I had a few days ago. I don't have the resources or know-how to be able to create something like this. Maybe sometime in the future I will. :)

Here is the linkto the US Amazon page I googled "ready player one Funko keys" and it came up for me. I didn't find anything for EU, but I only did a quick search though.

Jesus. I tried to look around for you but I had never seen that cover in the middle before. Here is what I found.

There's an official RPO playlist on Spotify, and a few others have made.

Here's a link to my Lettetboxd annoyed movie list: https://letterboxd.com/tristadevries/list/ready-player-one-an-annotated-list-of-every/detail/

Here's a link to the Shmoop list (even though I think it takes a few too many liberties and mixes too much of the movie in): https://www.shmoop.com/ready-player-one/allusions.html

And you will want to check out Anorak's Almanac on Tumblr. They do a great job rounding up the pop culture in the book as well.

Happy travels with your Gunting!

I made this: an annotated list of all the movies referenced in RPO. It's as complete as I could make it on my own, but I would love for someone to help me flesh it out with the remaining stuff I didn't catch.

there're a few choices for the challenge coin from SXSW (may or may not come with the quarter):

You can choose broze, silver, silver & Gold.

If you just want the quarter from the movie:

You could choose Quarter Broze, Quarter silver and Quarter silver & Gold <--(screen version)

In my experience, this coin is made in china, then shipped into the United State. If you live in Canada or somewhere in the world (ie. not United State or China.) It'll probably take a month or two to come. I live in Canada, I ordered it on the first/ second weeks of october and It just arrived last tuesday.

If YOU REALLY WANT IT, it's worth the wait but I can't helped myself from checking the window for the past few weeks.

The prices is:

broze -

CDN$ 14.50 CAD

Gold-
CDN$ 14.90 CAD

All three Pack-Bronze/Silver/Gold:

CDN$ 42.90 CAD

Gunters, Here are the link:https://www.amazon.ca/Extra-Life-Coin-Quarter-Player/dp/B07BWQ8WW4/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&amp;keywords=ready+player+one+coin&amp;qid=1603991054&amp;sr=8-1

If you're into enamel pins, Amazon Japan has this exclusive region-free boxset with a bunch of stuff including the pins and everything the american Walmart version contains, you can see it HERE. Price might be a bit high but if you're into collectible boxsets this could be a good one.

Daemon by Daniel Suarez - https://www.amazon.com.au/Daemon-Daniel-Suarez-ebook/dp/B0038QN2AS/ref=sr_1_1?crid=29MQL6E8FXMTN&amp;keywords=daemon&amp;qid=1650113634&amp;sprefix=daemon%2Caps%2C433&amp;sr=8-1

It has a similar premise to Ready Player One - a dead tech genius who has left an AI behind to continue his legacy. It's a much more intense thriller, and more hard sci-fi than Ready Player One. The sequel - Freedom, is also great.

And yes, Ready Player Two is worth reading...if you're looking for something similar to Ready Player One it's the closest and most obvious thing to read.

Hello, I'm a bot! The movie you linked is called The Last Starfighter, here are some Trailers

Just some info for anyone looking for first editions- (apologies for those who already know all this) ;)

The two paperbacks on the left are the advanced readers copies (also known as ARCs or galleys) that reviewers (and librarians, like myself) get from publishers to create advance buzz, review for professional journals, and also for collection development purposes. They're usually the hardest to find and can jump in price depending on how the published book does. I can't tell you how much I wish I had gotten one of these back in the day! They're getting harder to find as publishers move to digital arcs.

The true "first edition" is the hardcover on the far right. But it doesn't stop there! To have a true first edition, first printing, you need to flip to the copyright page. There you'll want to look for 2 things:

1) The words First Edition

AND

2) The full Line Sequence in one of the following ways:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1

1 3 5 7 9 10 8 6 4 2

This means you have a first edition, first printing of a title. Even if it says "First Edition" you might have a later printing, like in this example:

First edition

3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

You'd have the 3rd printing of the first edition.

Abe Books has a great video if you want to know more about identifying editions http://www.abebooks.com/books/RareBooks/collecting-guide/what_books_collect/collecting-first-editions.shtml

Hope that helps anyone out there on their hunt! I was lucky enough to buy my own 1st edition at a librarian conference when it was first released and met Ernie this year and had it signed. I'm still on the hunt for an ARC for my collection though. :)

If you don't prefer itunes, here is another link you can use that plays the podcast through a different site:

You can find The Shining and watch it for free on IMDB here: https://www.imdb.com/tv/watch/tt0081505?ref_=tt_wbr_fdv

Buckaroo Banzai is on Amazon Prime and Hulu: https://www.justwatch.com/us/movie/the-adventures-of-buckaroo-banzai

More interestingly, IMHO, the engine that Zork was written in has continued in development as an open-source project called Inform7, meaning that you can write your own Zork-style games.

Here if you want to check it out. If you click the look inside feature you can read up to the middle of chapter 3.

I would say it's like Ready Player One except entirely focused on video games, besides what I showed in the picture.

Amazon got some good replica of the quarter (ie. if you willing to buy and wait for it.)

I suggest this one because it is most screen-accurate that I could find and can get on amazon (both side): https://www.amazon.ca/Extra-Life-Coin-Quarter-Player/dp/B07BWQ8WW4/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&amp;keywords=ready+player+one+coin&amp;qid=1603991054&amp;sr=8-1

And sure I'll check it out, thanks :)

Bought these about a week or two ago for $8 or $9 on Amazon. Had to have them at that price.

&#x200B;

They are $8.20 right now with Prime shipping.

I've wondered about this as well. George R.R. Martin wrote a novel in 1983 called The Armageddon Rag where he made extensive use of song lyrics. The book opens with something like fifteen pages of references to all the permissions he had to get (and pay for!) to use the lyrics.

Check out the Amazon Preview. Even though they removed a bunch of the permissions pages from the preview it still runs on and on for several pages. Crazy. (The book also sold poorly, FWIW.) He also talks about when they tried to reissue the book in the mid-2000s they found out a bunch of the permissions had expired, and had to be re-licensed.

I guess what Cline did was fair use in the sense that it was mostly descriptive rather than directly quoting song lyrics or movie dialog or similar...but I'm pretty sure during the War Games "playthrough" quite a bit of dialog was directly quoted. (Don't have the book at hand to confirm.) I'm sure Cline's publisher's attorney vetted the book for that sort of thing, dunno.

The Memory Enginecame out recently, and revolves around a VR world that everyone uses, though it's more controlled and moderated by the company that runs it.

The author is actually one of the hosts of the old VR Roundtable podcast if anyone ever used to watch/listen to that.

Fantastic news! Finally, something to really look forward to at the end of the year!

Amazon has it up!

Labyrinth of Reflections by Sergei Lukyanenko is very close to RPO in a sense of virtual reality and a Quest, one of my favorite books of all time: https://www.amazon.com/Labyrinth-Reflections-Sergei-Lukyanenko-ebook/dp/B01G5XNN90

You can get the vest here https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07213GQT7/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1 All you need is a vector graphic of Excalibur but gold and you should be good on that end.

Yeah! I actually saw your post and was inspired to do it myself. The neck thing is actually some weird gadget to hold your smartphone so you can watch videos. Here is the link the product.

Thanks! It is just Google Cardboard headset I bought. Here is a link to the product. It put a metal tin in the spot where you put a smartphone to cover the front.

We Are Legion (We Are Bob) (Bobiverse) (Volume 1) https://www.amazon.com/dp/1680680587/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_6fftAbN7SDE3J

Fantastic series .. couldn't put it down, all three are fantastic and the audio book is great as well

This will not be easy but you can make the blade runner unicorn.

Drop a flash drive in the body or tape to it. On the side of the drive... put Ready Player One or not. This is a cool heart skeleton key flash drive: https://www.amazon.com/CHUYI-Metal-Heart-Shape-Memory/dp/B00KVFNWRC

On drive put 1 txt file... not a word doc. Start from here with instruction or without if you want to do a real treasure hunt.

OR, You could pretend the flash drive is like your own grail diary as if you were Art3mis and you are giving to your boyfriend. You can load some old games or soundtracks. Add your own thoughts in the form of diary and opinions on random stuff. I would love this is my girlfriend did this. Jesus. You could add personal things like you miss him when he is away... you could go 100 different ways. Make up a fake grail search with personal references instead of trying to create one but have links to webpages with games/movies.

Shit.. I am going to do this formyself now.

There are all over the place. Here is Amazon link

These are the droids I am looking for.

These are the droids I am looking for.

Definitely check out Awaken Online, The Gam3, Snow Crash, and Off to Be the Wizard.

Also, I hope it's cool that I say this because it's free from Amazon this week, but my novel Full Dive is definitely similar. It's got the futuristic virtual reality city and everything.

But yeah, too many great books out there to count! Check out this list at Goodreads, which has enough great books to keep you reading for a long time :)

I saw these i wanted to get for the keys - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01L2UB98S/ref=cm_sw_r_pi_dp_x_MYoRzb1J5B7W7

Maybe a holy grail funk pop.

Am I missing something here? I've always purchased physical copies of the books I read. $7.99 for kindle and $9.03 for a paper back seem pretty reasonable but $23.95 for the ebook?? Theres no way people are paying that much....

Check out The Eleventh Hour. Its a kids book, but it is full of codes and messages that help solve the mystery of the book which is sealed in the back.
