Ethical Reflection on ready Player One
This time, I'll talk about a book named Ready Player One written by Ernest Cline in 2011. It's main topic is Virtual Reality in a world where the access to it is very easy, so almost all people has a headset. Because of that, enterneinment, access to information and even work. So we are talking about a possible world in some years.
So the main argument of the book is that there is a virtual world created with the Virtual Reality named OASIS. So, the creator and owner of the OASIS (an ultramillionaire man), died and said that inside OASIS there was a puzzle that the first one who solved it, will get all his belongings. So here starts a virtual war between everyone to get the big prize. But after years and years of searching clues noone found anything, so the people began to think that there were any puzzle or that the puzzle was impossible to find. At this time, a movie was also filmed, and it is few different from the book, but not less interesting. But if you asked me, I prefer the book by the complexity and the scope of the history.
I think is very dangeous to have a system like the OASIS(which I think is very possible in some years in the future), because even is a very advance techonology which the humanity can grow, I dont think it will be better for humans, because nowadays there is like a rupture in the social interacions between humans, so if we make a system like that, it could be the end of humanity, so maybe a system like that could be fine but with less scope, like not including all kind of works inside it.
I will not tell more about the story so you found the book at your favorite platform, like a physical book or electronic book. The book is very interesting, if you are a fan of pop culture of the 80's, or if you are a gamer of old games. you will love this game because there are a lot of references of them, and that makes the book funny. Me as a gamer, I really enjoy how Pacman, Halo, Space Invaders, Galaga and some more, where included in the book. It is a world which I'll love to be. Hope you enjoy the book as much as I did.
