rCLSteven Spielberg may have made a grand return to science fiction with Disclosure Day, but we canrCOt forget his previous addition to the
sci-fi canon: Ready Player One, the multiversal, pop-culture-stuffed
epic starring Tye Sheridan and Olivia Cooke based on Ernest ClinerCOs
book of the same name. The result was the epitome of nostalgia-bait,
and while it was an interesting world and a box-office success, it
hasnrCOt been remembered in the most favorable terms.rCY
rCLBut almost a decade later, Ready Player One is getting a sequel,
aptly titled Ready Player Two, based on the book sequel by Cline of
the same name, published in 2020. But could the film version recreate
the magic of the original? Or, like the first film, will it generate
even more debate?rCY
I would watch it. I read rCLReady Player TworCY a while back.

How did you find the book? I've been told it isn't that good compared to
the first one, but I haven't read it yet.

Here is my July 3, 2022 review:
"Ready Player Two: A Novel" by Ernest Cline https://www.amazon.com/Ready-Player-Two-Ernest-Cline/dp/1524761346/
Book number two of a two book fantasy series. I read the well printed
and well bound trade paperback published by Ballantine Books in 2021.
I suspect that there will be a third book in the series someday.
Wade Watts, Parzival, won the OASIS test with the help of his three
friends and became the heir to James Halliday. After taking a week
off, Wade found that Halliday had created the ONI, the OASIS Neural Interface, that connected the OASIS computers directly to your brain. Everything feels real and your body feels like it is actually in the simulation. But your brain does not feel your body and it is therefore unprotected, depending on your autonomic system to survive. Once
released, the ONI made the OASIS even more addictive for most of the inhabitants of Earth.
Like the first book, the second book is a 1980s geekfest. The second
book is reputedly being made into a movie. I don't know if Spielberg
is directing it again.
My rating: 4 out of 5 stars
Amazon rating: 4.3 out of 5 stars (37,573 reviews)
