Ready Player One is a great book so far, and might actually be my favorite book! The backstory leading up to the main story is genius, and is actually a possible thing, while still having some impossibilities that the sci-fi genre is known for. An example of this is stacking trailers on top of eachother. I understand that population is a problem in the future, but stacking trailers is kind of stupid. If the metal supports broke or their was too much weight on top of the stack, the whole thing will collapse and likely knock over other stacks to. This is not a smart solution to overpopulation, unless their intent is to let the stacks get knocked down to reduce the population... hmm...
Another thing that I'm having trouble understanding is the OASIS system itself. When it describes the physical thing it sounds like virtual reality goggles that we are familiar with today, and also gloves that allow you to control the character's hand movements in the game. Then how does your character walk around? Do you control them with your hands? This leads me think that it is more like the matrix where you actually feel like you're in the virtual world, rather than just looking into goggles. I hope the OASIS system will be explained more later in the book. Now that I have the confusing things out of the way, let me talk about the characters. I think the main character, Wade, is a very relatable person. If he's in danger, you sort of feel like your in danger to. I also like the other characters, and how the author keeps reminding you that they might not be who you think they are. It makes you wonder if Wade knows any of the players in real life, without knowing it. It also adds just a bit of mystery, which makes you wonder if he can trust the people he meets. Those are the reasons why I like Ready Player One, and I am wondering what the rest of the book will be like. I highly recommend you read it!
