ERNEST CLINE has worked as a short-order cook, fish gutter, plasma donor, elitist video store clerk, and tech support drone. His primary occupation, however, has always been geeking out, and he eventually threw aside those other promising career paths to express his love of pop culture fulltime as a spoken word artist and screenwriter. His 2009 film Fanboys, much to his surprise, became a cult phenomenon. These days Ernie lives in Austin, Texas with his wife, their daughter, and a large collection of classic video games. READY PLAYER ONE is his first novel.
It's the year 2044, and the real world is an ugly place.
Like most of humanity, Wade Watts escapes his grim surroundings by spending his waking hours jacked into the OASIS, a sprawling virtual utopia that lets you be anything you want to be, a place where you can live and play and fall in love on any of ten thousand planets.
And like most of humanity, Wade dreams of being the one to discover the ultimate lottery ticket that lies concealed within this virtual world. For somewhere inside this giant networked playground, OASIS creator James Halliday has hidden a series of fiendish puzzles that will yield massive fortune -- and remarkable power -- to whoever can unlock them.
For years, millions have struggled fruitlessly to attain this prize, knowing only that Halliday's riddles are based in the pop culture he loved -- that of the late twentieth century. And for years, millions have found in this quest another means of escape, retreating into happy, obsessive study of Halliday's icons. Like many of his contemporaries, Wade is as comfortable debating the finer points of John Hughes's oeuvre, playing Pac-Man, or reciting Devo lyrics as he is scrounging power to run his OASIS rig.
And then Wade stumbles upon the first puzzle.
Suddenly the whole world is watching, and thousands of competitors join the hunt -- among them certain powerful players who are willing to commit very real murder to beat Wade to this prize. Now the only way for Wade to survive and preserve everything he knows is to win. But to do so, he may have to leave behind his oh-so-perfect virtual existence and face up to life -- and love -- in the real world he's always been so desperate to escape.
A world at stake.
A quest for the ultimate prize.
Are you ready?
科幻世界总是把大长篇拆成上下部,这是营销策略。但是这么多年,让我真正牵挂的寥寥可数,其中之一便是玩家一号。 首先赞一下翻译,这哥们太逗了,虽然手里没原文,单就译文的流畅程度、紧跟潮流的网络用语、酣畅淋漓的阅读体验……点32个赞。 这部小说用一句话概括:屌丝男...
評分电影中大放异彩的终极杀器“神圣手雷”,小说里是不存在的。 这个梗出自哪里呢?影剧宅会告诉你,是上世纪最经典的无厘头喜剧《巨蟒与圣杯》,而游戏宅则相信出自经典对战游戏《百战天虫》,至于斯皮尔伯格的灵感来源究竟是电影还是游戏,who care,那些看过《巨蟒与圣杯》,或...
評分前段时间电影《头号玩家》刚上映的时候,我到电影院去观看了这部现象级影片,电影特效超赞,动作场面炫酷,几乎完美的为我们呈现了一个令人向往的世界——绿洲。 电影非常好看,有无数彩蛋,我刷了两遍,但因为对八十年代流行文化的了解并不多,所以这些彩蛋我能找出来的很少,...
評分这部小说是从《科幻世界》最后的图书推荐上看到的,也没买实体书,从网上下载了epub看,全书给我的感觉只有几个字:脑洞太大了! 从一开始的D&D到后来的奥特曼,我甚至感觉我在看一个起点小说网的《大宇宙XX》《网络纵横XX》类似的作品,也正像短评中有人说到这部小说唯一的亮点...
電影真的比小說好太多瞭!
评分故事情節不錯,對作者的純想像力真的是無法言喻的佩服。然而這種作品基本上大多數滿足的是閱讀帶來的猶如機動遊戲的fantasy快感,沒有太多文學性可言。當然也不應該要求太多,始終這種作品寫的是什麼比怎麼寫的重要很多。很期待電影。
评分各種80s reference好棒啊 要拍成電影瞭 就是不知道這些tribute能都拍齣來麼 版權怎麼辦...
评分文筆好糟啊……整本書最有趣的是OASIS的設定,看到建立係統之初遊戲公司selling land that doesn't exist的時候笑噴瞭
评分〔14年最後一本〕沒有新穎的觀點,模仿Snow Crash痕跡明顯;不過最要命的還是整書都在宣揚gunters的人物崇拜
