Connecting Generations
HOW ‘READY PLAYER ONE’ CAN HELP YOUR FAMILY BOND If you need a piece of pop culture that will bond you and the gamer in your family, then look no further than Ernest Cline’s science fiction juggernaut, “Ready Player One.” This 2011 novel not only reads like a love letter to ‘80s pop culture but also demonstrates how gaming connects people of all ages, cultures, and circumstances. other. The virtual world provides them the experience to bond and, eventually, celebrate their differences, a lesson everyone should revisit.
Among the lessons, the ‘80s references, and the challenges, Cline’s 385-page adventure has something for everyone. If you want to explore this book with your family, find it on Amazon or your local bookstore! I highly recommend it! I also recommend Cline’s follow-up book, “Armada.” While “Armada” is not a sequel, it’s written in a similar vein. It’s about a teenager who plays an online video game dedicated to defending the world from alien invasion. It’s a lot of fun with plenty of twists and turns!
Cline’s novel is set in a 2044 dystopia, where people use a virtual reality called the Oasis to escape from their grim realities. The Oasis’ shadowy inventor, a figure reminiscent of Willy Wonka, announces he will bequeath his trillion-dollar empire to the player who can find the Easter egg hidden in his program behind multiple challenges and minigames. These challenges provide the means by which you can bond with your loved ones. Each minigame is a riddle about ‘80s pop culture, giving your family, younger and older ones included, a fun opportunity to guess at the answers you may already know yourself. Not to mention, icons like King Kong and The Iron Giant appear at crucial points in this sci-fi tale and serve as a great entry into these two classic franchises. Along with these fun cameos, “Ready Player One” features a subtle, heartwarming storyline that makes the entire geeky thrill just a little more relatable. Throughout the book, the main character, Wade, known as Parzival in the Oasis, relies on several friends as he searches for the Easter egg. Though they are all together in the program, these friends are actually across the globe from each
