Crazy that this involves the author… We really can’t learn can we?
This is seeing the Titanic movie and saying, “yup, we’re building the titanic and sailing into an iceberg! Who’s coming with us?”

Now I’m actually wondering if the author thinks the Ready Player One world is worth living in.

He really does.
Ready Player One sounds, on the surface, like a searing critique of corporate capitalist bullshit, but in the end the actual upshot in the novel and movie is “We need kinder, gentler billionaires to be our feudal overlords”.

Nevermind that Wade in RPO doesn’t give a single shit to everyone else dying in stack collapses or any other form of cyberpunk misery which that world is full of.
