Ready Player Two (the book) is Also Terrible

- Two years ago, the film Ready Player One entered our hearts and exited somewhere unmentionable. That same year, two things happened: I did a review on the 2011 book it was based on, and Ernest Cline started writing a sequel to allow for a larger franchise. Now, all these years later, Ready Player Two (or Ready Player One 2?) is out to the public and already causing much controversy online. But is the novel as bad as people say? Yes. But let's jump into nuances to the conversation anyway.
Come revisit the franchise which created such icons as the Iron Giant, the DeLorean, and Super Mario! Let's jump back into the OASIS to see what those wacky billionaires are up to now...

Can we talk about how Shoto’s wife is pregnant when her brain is copied into the space ship meaning that that version of her is never going to get to meet her child. That’s psychological torture
Excuse me *what?*
This is why most of the media that deals with mind uploading/immortality make the implications of that the main point of the plot. Things like that literally fill books.
I think a good question is: Will her clone be pregnant forever? Or will her digital self be pregnant for the length of time remaining until she was supposed to give birth? Once it reaches that time, will she have a simulated child? Or will her body just reset to the not pregnant state?
Holy shit. I didnt even think of that.
@@isaacgruver7061 it'd actually be kinda cool idea, if the child born, having no brain scan, would end up mysteriously developing a strangely human mind, and grow up as something not quite human, a spontaneously generated A.I, born of humans.
And then you have a premise of all the brain scanned people, over time, creating more completely new copies, that after generations are something completely different. Not degenerated, just new and alien.
If the ship could somehow come to replicate itself, you'd have a pretty solid star trek episode, when humanity meet them in the future, at the far fringes of space, the children of children of children of children of the copies of a bunch of nerds from the ancient past.

If everyone knows what Sword Art Online and Sonic.exe is in 30 years, we should probably just call it quits as a species right now.
I wondered at this myself... the best I could come up with was: fandoms are quickly immortalized as worlds within the Oasis, where they become destinations/quest centers/etc, the user's experience of the world might vary greatly from their experience of a show/etc---as in, if a quest bearer or boss on that world dropped a highly exploitable item or one of extreme usefulness, you might be compelled to learn a great deal about the environment/fandom merely to complete a quest, get a drop, etc.
Also.... a lot of people have bad taste. Like... a lot...
I dunno. Plenty of mediocre anime from the 80s/90s is still remembered today.
Technically because how nostalgia works, we will be nostalgic for it.

@Dillon O'Dell Hey. COVID-19 is doing the best it can. Not its fault that people out there want to live and haven't completely given up on humanity.
Let's be real Quinton. Quoting Karl Marx in one breath and name dropping SAO in the next is pretty much the energy of this entire youtube channel.
But at least here unlike with the novel, that same energy has better direction.
It's also 100% the kind of thing a teenager would say.
@@edgarallenhoe3518 without understanding a word of what they said either
It's also a weird critque because obsessing about old fantasy and scifi media is a pretty significant plot point of all the Ready Player One/Two books. Samantha is also clearly someone deeply conscious about the needs of others so quoting Marx makes sense.

I saw the “non binary sex” paragraph on Twitter and I thought it was a joke at first partly because the title Ready Player Two sounds fake to me.
That's how you know it's beyond parody. No fic writer or abridger could make this shit more ridiculous than it is & not a fun kinda ridiculous
out of context read makes it look like his heart was in the right place but the language is glaringly indicative that Cline didn't really consult any LGBT+ research or perspectives. will edit if quinton mentions a context that justifies the grossness
EDIT: while wade is crafted as an intentionally unlikable character and the dialogue reflects that, the "I experienced memories of all people so it's good" mentality isn't great and should not be internalized. It's similar to "All Lives Matter" in that tries to push equality without navigating any of the nuance that LGBT+ issues require in order to create constructive progress.
I found out about it from Roblox. ;-;
Reminds me of a quiz I found a couple of years ago, where it presented pairs of really horribly written erotica. The test was to guess which one was an extract from the Fifty Shades of Grey novels, and which was from poorly written fanfics or furry smut.
I'm just wondering how "non-binary sex" would even work. I mean, as far as I know, there's no physical differences with a non-binary person and someone who identifies as a man or woman.
Unless what the file is actually referring to is intercourse with intersex people or something.
You might as well call this sequel "I can't believe it's not sword art online " , cause would certainly be the more honest title.
It's a novel for incels and cucks, of course it's SAO
I just recently read the book Demon, it's has a similar plot to RPO (it came out before RPO) except it has actual stakes, tension,, good characters that develop and best of all no god damn pop culture references stuffed down your throat. Instead of being wish fulfillment bullshit it's a terrifying horror story about real life becoming like video games
I was thinking of .Hack//sign
Tad Williams' "Otherland" stays uncontested.
@@ztrb0820 same here
SAO is already regarded as a sub-par anime, the fact that it can hold any relevance in the future terrifies me of how their media became .
SAO is something I can enjoy on the level of 13 year old male fantasy. Like, I realize it's immature, but it's immature in the same way that I once was immature as a child, and so I can, for a minute, return to that part of my personality while watching it. I remember the romance plot being reductive (it's been years since I've seen it so don't remember the details). But it's reductive in a young male fantasy kind of way. There's an innocence to it.
Whereas, though they share interesting similarities, I find I can't enjoy ready player one on that level though, because it's trying too hard. It's too intertextual. It takes me out of it, and it makes me feel condescended to. Referencing a better movie does not a good movie make. Whereas SAO is just unapologetically and sincerely an anime that's aimed at nerdy gamer preteen males like my younger self. It's an original story that doesn't try to borrow anything from any other story. It also has a unique and original aesthetic which I enjoy. Ready Player One thinks it can rely on the visuals of other, better films, and it is sorely mistaken. I mean, for all the expensive special effects, the film is just... bland, y'know?
Ready player one reminds me of the big bang theory -- that show is constantly making pop culture references... as if that, in itself, constitutes comedy. Putting an obscure reference in your joke can make it funnier, because only a select few are "in the know" in some sense, and it feels good to be "in the know." But there still needs to be some kind of punchline -- you can't rely solely on the fact that you've made a reference to something the audience knows/likes.
Similarly I feel like Ready Player One makes pop culture references as of that, in itself, constitutes narrative. Which is an even greater sin than thinking a pop culture reference constitutes comedy. It leaves a bad taste in my mouth, because I feel like the Shining references are unearned because the Shining is a much better film.
Oh, lol I responded before finishing the video. Yeah it def seems like the second book is trying to make every criticism the author knows of seem intended, and therefore invalid, lol. Bad writing 101 lmao
I was responding based only on the knowledge of the broad similarity between sword art online and the movie Ready Player One. But he actually straight up ripped off Sword Art Online knowingly and intentionally in the sequel, and told everyone he was doing it in the text 😅 Incredible
Sao will only keep relevance due to something witty entertainments abridged series. Honestly the only thing that's made me think of it since its release.

I knew because of an academic book of the same name that came out first, then THIS popped into my GoodReads search
This sounds like exactly the same problem I had with the first book. Ernst is king of "Tell, don't Show". He spews a bunch of pop culture references onto the page and then tells us how his super cool OC did a bunch of really awesome stuff with it. But he never actually DESCRIBES most of the cool stuff. He leaves the reader to just sort of piece the scene together out of their own memories of those tidbits of pop culture. If you don't already know what the reference is, you're left with a word on a page and a blank.
His writing targets a very specific audience.
I wanna point out that some of the references he makes, don't even work. Like Sonic exe. Let's pretend for a moment, that it's somehow popular in 20 years, even though it isn't popular anymore now. Even if it is, sonic wasn't a rogue AI, like how the book uses the reference. Sonic exe was a demon or whatever. So not only is the author just chucking references at the wall, but he doesn't even manage to make those correctly.
@@jflanagan9696 I would even say he writes to people who usually don't read and are more likely to overlook that he's really on the nose.
i had this very issue with the 3rd shard. I completely skipped 3-4 chapter, because my mind could not create an image in my head for what was being described. I never saw any of these movies, so i all i got were random names with no meaning behind them.
I'm reading it right now, and even with that knowledge, it's a miserable read. Give me cool descriptions! Paint a picture with words! Your character is LITERALLY EXPERIENCING A DUNGEONS AND DRAGONS CAMPAIGN IN VR give me some fucking descriptions oh my god. I want to hear about ancient, eroded walls, crumbling as our lead passes by them. Iron rings set into the stone, glinting in the torchlight, fiery yellow and damp. But no, "I made it through the dungeon and cleared the traps" is plenty, gotta keep that word count down so we can have pages upon pages of meaningless references and painfully awkward flirting!

The "nonbinary sex" quote immediately made me worried about how someone as close to incel culture as Cline would handle it. The same thing with the trans character.
Yeah same here but from what I’ve seen it’s just there?

@@SpeedyLara2012 the whole "finding out trans character is trans by invading her privacy and spying on her and her past + being cool with someone being trans because you're into all types of porn" is pretty icky tbh

Better than expected, if you can trust Jessie Gender.
I mean he totally doesn't know anything about anything, but at least he (supposedly) goes down the route of "nah, I tried all kinds of sex in all kinds of bodies, everyone over 18 did, all the three genders are cool", which is ... headache, but sorta non-malicious headache. Sure horrible, but it could be some where-incel-and-terf-overlap bs and like revenge hacking the trans woman's avatar or something, and it *tries* to be accepting as much as someone who sees every human being on a scale of how useful they are for sexual pleasure can make something accepting.

There's a way to homage. Cline's books are just self insert fan fiction.
While reading the book, at times I thought "you're breaking the rule of three, dude. Three examples are enough, Cline, putting more is just padding"
In the first book I didn't mind it. I was born in 89 so the 80's stuff wasn't in my life that much. It kind of helped to get things in historical context which was kijfnkf nice.
wait hold up, that ending sounds like a straight up rip off of SOMA lmao
If only this book had the same quality.
Lol, literally the only bad part of SOMA's story is the best ending of these two books, and that's not saying a lot.
Not only that, the whole thing of being able to feel as if you're experiencing someone else's life/reality is a straight-up ripoff of the movie Strange Days with Ralph Fiennes and Angela Bassett.
Of course the speed runner beat me here.

Ready Player Two perfectly encapsulates the transition from nerd to techlord.
the year is 2076. youtube is but a shadow of a memory in the backs of the public's mind. the few remaining users are surprised to see a notification from the channel "quinton reviews" -- they have not posted since 2020. the video is entitled "I finally read every animorphs book." a single tear falls down the viewer's cheek. "we made it honey," they say to an urn on the mantle. over 50 years later, quinton finally managed to complete the series and bring peace to the world.
He has said that he's working on the longest video he's ever made right now, and unless the second half of that Sam & Cat retrospective gets *real wild* (which it totally could), I wouldn't be entirely surprised if it's the Beginning of the Animorphs-ening.

The fact that Kline read Sonic.exe, liked it, and then referenced it in his book is amazing. It also shows exactly who the audience was for those awful gaming creepy pastas, and Ready Player One.
He referenced it? Based.
I'm willing to bet he didn't actually enjoy it that much and just referenced it because he felt like there should be a reference there and that's the best he could come up with.
@@piotr4198 That's probably true lol. It is still a horrible reference because who the hell is reading Sonic.exe so many years later? That story isn't even relevant to creepypasta today. Let alone relevant to horror in the decades to come.
it’s especially insane since I’m pretty sure that even the author of sonic.exe hates sonic.exe
He didn't even use it *properly*. He used in reference to encountering a rogue AI. Sonic.exe isn't a rogue AI-- even in the original story it was supposed to be some kind of supernatural demon.
Never mind that it's such a weird, obscure piece of Internet trivia that most of his readers probably wouldn't know what it's in reference to. It's a situation where it's a name-drop that, if you don't understand it, there's no context in the book that helps explain it so you can get it; if you *do* understand it, the context is completely nonsensical.

They've been very thoroughly explored in literature for the last century. Not to say it doesn't still have value, just a lot of ground already covered there.

The Prince
Makeoveli did a good job with tha book showing people how tyrants work
The problem is, every time a story with an unlikeable protagonist gets popular, a significant chunk of its fanbase decide that the protagonist is someone you're supposed to like and emulate. See: Fight Club, Rick and Morty, even fucking Lolita.
the trans vtuber was handled terribly too, her being outed to wade by him literally completely invading her privacy is really fucking creepy and bad and it's made worse with his justification for accepting her solely being that he's experienced all kinds of sex. kinda just doubles down on the societal misconception that being trans is a sexual thing
Yeah, that whole part was gross. I don't know why straight cis guys think they need to justify respecting trans women through sexual attraction.

Yes, but it's the kind of English that makes people think the language is dying. When really, languages are considered dead when there are no more words to add, which explains Latin and Yiddish.

What’s funny is that these references are both already wildly outdated at the time of release for the novel (2020). Not only does that make it less likely to be referenced in 2054 or whenever the book takes place, but puts a shelf life on the book- at least the 80s movies from the first book already stood the test of time by when the book had been written

I am 21 now. If I were stuck as my 19 year old self forever, that would literally be hell.

Did you know that Avatar starts with a cyberpunk dystopia and a great barfight scene and the Protagonist's disability comes from serving in the US occupation of
Venezuela? I had completely forgotten almost immediately 10 years ago when it came out. I can almost guarantee you it's better than you remember, seriously. If you don't believe me go ahead and set aside a few hours to rewatch it or better yet listen to the Chapotraphouse podcast they did on it, really put things in perspective for me (ep 478 "World Tree Center"). Seriously changed everything I though I knew about the movie, everybody only remembers like 2 memes about the movie, which were the on the nose satire of boneheaded jingoist military speak and corporate imperialist extractivism and the "no body remembers the casts names", which while fair, if you dig into them some of the names are pretty well done, like the professional managerial class scientist lady being named Grace Augustine after Saint Augustine's thesis on Grace and Free Will, or the antagonist Colonel Quaritch who I think is named after Horace Geoffrey Quaritch who was a British adviser and upholder of British Imperialism to Kings Rama VI and Rama VII of Siam.
@@Flamewarden_Honoushugoshin Now that is interesting
@@Flamewarden_Honoushugoshin You kinda hit the nail on the head; That was the problem with Avatar. The dialogue was subpar, even if the actors were great. The story was forgettable (and done better elsewhere, so not original either) but the world looked good.

One had fun characters and a fresh look at a Machine vs Man story, and Avatar....looks pretty. (The terminator sequels sucked but obviously no one knew that yet at the time)

Bro just get out there and write. When you read or listen to qudiobooks like I do. Pay close attention to how the author conveys what he's trying to say. Pay attention to how he structures his sentences and paragraphs to draw you in. When you pay attention to these minor details and begin to develop a sense of what draws you in, you can help to hone your creative voice.
Also read all sorts of genres, try to stretch out and try different things. Each genre with what it has to say and how it says it is crucial to the human condition. Not saying you have to read classics, but take a chance.
Finally, don't be afraid to drop books if they just don't catch your interest (don't count out skimming though), but be sure to take note of what it was specifically you didn't like.
Wow, dunno why, but I was struck with the need to try and motivate you. Have fun out there!

You know, it might have been kind of cool that there was a cannon trans character for a book to a "major" franchise, if only she wasn't made to just be a fangirl to our asshole protagonist, whose initial reaction is to sexualize her once realizing that is she is trans. Just another conversation of bad representation vs. no representation for us to have, I guess.
Does representation exist though if nobody cares about the thing it's in except to make fun of the thing?
@@PosthumanHeresy It exists, but it's... static. Not really useful, but I guess not as harmful as it could be otherwise?
@@PosthumanHeresy The problem is that when representation is included, but it's really bad, the usual anti-SJW crowd will come and say it's the fault of feminists and progressives for pushing propaganda or some shit. Then we have to defend the character because it's bad but it's also the only prominent representation out there at the moment. Then there's back and forth, and yadda yadda yadda. It can be exhausting, but there's not much else you can do.

I’m so glad people are talking about how dumb the “artificial intelligence immortality” thing is. Like sci-fi writers, it *really* is not that good if your goal is immortality
Let's go easy on sci-fi writers and just say that how it might be handled in this book sounds dumb and probably just a surface level cool-factor plot device. There's plenty of meat to chew on in a concept like "artificial intelligence immortality", even if the goal people set out with is the immortality, maybe even especially because immortality is the goal. "*Why* is Immortality the goal?" can be a good question to explore in sci-fi or probably any other genre, if handled by someone with some skill and talent.
For instance, when someone's mind is captured and digitised, how close does it need to be to the original to be allowed to 'live'? Is this a rule that applies throughout the lifetime of the AI? If it is, are AIs just forever booted up and run until they deviate from some metric only to be erased and restarted? Or is there a point where data corruption can lead to a True Death in some far off future? What happens in a society with everyone seeing upload as the norm, a proper transitional life event, when someone can't be uploaded? How do they cope with suddenly finding out that they don't have eternity like everyone else around them? Would they shunned? Would people think that there was less value in time spent getting to know them because they're just going to not be there any more? On successful upload of a mind, is the body destroyed as there are rules around only a single instance of any identity being active?
@@drakinkoren You put more thought into it than a lot of sci-fi writers who think AI being sentient is some new plot thread. Mind uploading is impossible, you can connect your mind to a robot or create a copy of your brain, but you can't upload your mind without a brain to a robot. That's not how information works. Or brains. I'd rather have stories about AI clones over just going into a computer
