This week on Required Reading, we talk Ready Player One by Ernest Cline and hidden in here is an easter egg that will unlock Hoffmann's Gold. WE ARE BACK, BABY!!!! Host: Nic Panel: Mike and Mike. From the Random House book cover: "In the year 2045, reality is an ugly place. The only time Wade Watts really feels alive is when he's jacked into the OASIS, a vast virtual world where most of humanity spends their days. When the eccentric creator of the OASIS dies, he leaves behind a series of fiendish puzzles, based on his obsession with the pop culture of decades past. Whoever is first to solve them will inherit his vast fortune—and control of the OASIS itself. Then Wade cracks the first clue. Suddenly he's beset by rivals who'll kill to take this prize. The race is on—and the only way to survive is to win."
Você está preparado, Jogador número 1? O ano é 2044 e a Terra não é mais a mesma. Fome, guerras e desemprego empurraram a humanidade para um estado de apatia nunca antes visto. Wade Watts é mais um dos que escapa da desanimadora realidade passando horas e horas conectado ao OASIS?

Hang out with the English Club as we discuss Ernest Kline's Ready Player One! We both read our own half, and together, we try to put the pieces together. ABOUT THE BOOK: IN THE YEAR 2044, reality is an ugly place. The only time teenage Wade Watts really feels alive is when he's jacked into the virtual utopia known as the OASIS. Wade's devoted his life to studying the puzzles hidden within this world's digital confines, puzzles that are based on their creator's obsession with the pop culture of decades past and that promise massive power and fortune to whoever can unlock them. But when Wade stumbles upon the first clue, he finds himself beset by players willing to kill to take this ultimate prize. The race is on, and if Wade's going to survive, he'll have to win—and confront the real world he's always been so desperate to escape. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/9969571-ready-player-one # ABOUT US: English Club Podcast is a joint venture between two critique partners at "Saint Balasar University".

Stock up on those rations and race to that bomb shelter, because it's Global Thermonuclear War! Or is it? Jay and Shua look back on 40 years of the classic movie WarGames with Matthew Broderick. WarGames not only kept us on the edge of our seat wondering if WW3 was about to start, but it also helped to shape policies and events in our nation's government. Come with us as we revisit a dramatic 80s cold war movie.

He agreed that it was a sight to behold. Enjoy Movies! 1983 was a scary time in our country. We seemed to constantly be on pins and needles wondering if the Soviets were going to start an all-out nuclear war. But it was an exciting time too. The personal computer was making its way into our homes and giving us access to the outside world. That is a brilliant recipe for a dramatic movie. Wargames became that movie, where a young computer hacker named David Lightman, played by a very young Matthew Broderick, who only had two acting credits to his name before this movie, unknowingly breaks into the military's computer system and nearly starts World War 3. It was very well executed and made us question the possibilities of the future. It even made President Reagan a little nervous. After watching it, he requested an investigation to research the dangers of hacking and how we could take precautions against it. And of course, it give Wade Watts an interesting challenge to accomplish in the Ready Player One novel by Earnest Cline. Have you experienced WarGames? Did you like experimenting with computers?

Hey are you ready for a fun trip into 80s nostalgia! Well you've come to the right place... in like 121 pages or so. Yeah we'll throw you a bone here and there. You remember Marty McFly's alarm clock?!? Yeah... I hope that reference will sustain you. Because we're not going to spend a whole lot of time in the Oasis doing Ready Player One stuff. Sure we'll go steal the script to Princess Bride but all that action and plot progression and "stuff that's actually happening" is going to have to come in part 2 of the book.I'm not joking. If you've read this book (and you obviously have because everyone reads along with us) you know that the pacing of this book is awful, the author really didn't care about this book, and he phones in the majority of it. That's so apparent here in part 1 where we're going to lay the ground work. The same way Ernest does: telling it to you directly. Then we're going to lay some groundwork, put some work on the ground, build up to some future stuff, establish the ground that we will be standing on, pouring the foundation for the book... do you get the point yet?This book sucks but Nate had to read it so you have to listen to this episode.

This book, set in a dystopian future, focuses on Wade Watts and his hunt for the Easter egg that was left by James Halliday upon his death. Finding the Easter egg would make Wade the inheritor of Halliday's fortune and the OASIS itself, a virtual reality that basically everyone on the planet uses to escape from their reality of poverty, energy crisis, and global warming. Wade spends all his time combing through films, music, TV, and videogames from the 80s, and repeatedly reads Anorack's Almanac, written by Halliday himself. All in the hopes of decoding the clue to the Copper Key, the first of three that must be found to find the egg. Wade finds himself in a race against other players and Innovative Online Industries (IOI), a corporation that wants to control to OASIS and is willing to play real dirty to win.Is our world heading toward a fully virtual culture? Would you want the opportunity to participate in a thing like the OASIS? Will Wade ever push the big red button? Join us as we discuss these questions and more in episode eight of our spoiler-filled podcast.Questions: The questions we used for this episode come from the website for Hey Let's Make Stuff. → https://heyletsmakestuff.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Ready-Player-One-Discussion-Questions.pdfGreat music huh?!

How do you make a movie steeped in 80's nostalgia without having it be a major Spielberg-fest? You get Spielberg to direct it! Directed by Steven Spielberg. Written by Zak Penn and Ernest Cline (Based on his book). Starring Tye Sheridan, Olivia Cooke, Ben Mendelsohn, Lena Waithe, Mark Rylance and Simon Pegg. How is the world wrong about this movie? From Bryan Connolly: This was and is so hated by so many people. Yes, the constant shoehorning of pop culture and bombardment of frenetic CGI is a brain overload, but this is Spielberg having a lot of fun…and it's been a while since he's relaxed and just had a good time. He's allowed it! The most expensive film collage movie ever made. Did we mention it has Chucky in it!!!

Special guest from Bushwhacking is Jack! He recommended the book, Ready Player One! In the year 2045, reality is an ugly place.

This week Danielle takes Sam through the truly bizarre finale of the 2020 Ernest Cline novel Ready Player Two. Wade Watts is trapped in the OASIS in his ONI VR headset by Anorak and his "infirmware" and is being forced by Anorak to find the seven shards hidden by Halliday on various media worlds Kira—the late wife of Ogden and romantic obsession of Halliday—had a hand in creating. And if that sentence doesn't sum up Ready Player Two, nothing does. The purpose of this latest scavenger hunt is still unclear, but Wade now has 12 hours to complete it before he dies, so naturally he completely ignores the help offered by his biggest fan L0hengrin. Wade and his friends set off to various media worlds, including the not-much-of-a-challenge school world, and the fever dream of the Prince world. Eventually, Wade figures out that Anorak wants the shards because he—the A.I. consciousness of Halliday—wants to use the shards to resurrect an A.I. consciousness of Kira which Halliday created without her consent. Anorak wants to live in eternal bliss with this A.I. Kira even though she never loved Halliday, even when reconstituted virtually. We won't spoil how the space ship full of frozen embryos figures into all this, but it's wild. Anyway, Wade and his friends find a convenient magic sword that Ogden, and only Ogden for some reason, can use to defeat Anorak, and embark on a pretty simple heist to free Ogden and bring him to the Oasis to fight Anorak. All of this is pretty standard, but then Wade discovers there are A.I. scans of every person who has used an ONI device, and his solution to this is probably the most ridiculous, and most irresponsible, part of the whole book, which is really saying something.
This week Danielle starts Sam on a VR adventure with the 2020 Ernest Cline novel Ready Player Two. In this sequel to Ready Player One, Wade Watts is the freshly minted owner of the OASIS, a massive virtual realty universe that dominates the cultural and commercial landscape of a dystopian Earth. That's when Wade's late predecessor, Halliday, sends him a hitherto unknown technology: The ONI, a neural interface VR system for the OASIS that kills you if you use it too long. This all sounds great to Wade who immediately launches it as a commercial product, and this is why Danielle and Sam feel that you probably shouldn't pick the successor to your multi-billion dollar essential planetary infrastructure via pop culture scavenger hunt. At this point, a new scavenger hunt appears in the OASIS, seemingly just for Wade and created by Halliday (seriously, does he have any other ideas?). Wade is tasked with finding seven shards but is stumped by the clue and so kinda just ignores if for a few years, like a true hero. During that time, Wade finds his friends divided over the ethics of the ONI devices, and Wade drifts away from Samantha, his girlfriend for all of a week, due to her reservations. Finally, a fan of Wade's, L0hengrin, clues him into where the first shard is, and helps him recover this first quest item. Things only get weirder from here, and that's without mentioning the Olympic swimming pool's worth of 80's and 90's pop culture references to slog through, or the spaceship full of frozen embryos. Sam has many questions, and while there are few answers in part one, we can only hope part two will shed some light on his most burning question: How big a jerk was Halliday? (Spoiler: absolutely massive).
Nesse episódio eu conversei com o meu amigo @lucascomics, produtor do @dropandopodcast, sobre o livro, e adaptação cinematográfica, O Jogador Nº 1. Lançado em 2011, e escrito por Ernest Cline, O Jogador Nº 1 é um livro de romance com uma temática futurista. Nesse futuro, Wade Watts gasta a maior parte do seu tempo acordado no OASIS. Wade sonha em descobrir um Easter Egg escondido pelo criador do OASIS dentro de um dos milhares de mundos virtuais do jogo, pois o falecido James Halliday estipulou em seu testamento que a pessoa que descobrir o Easter Egg vai herdar todos os seus bens, incluindo a gestão e controle do próprio OASIS, e um prêmio no valor de centenas de bilhões de dólares.

Konnichiwa all you Otakus out there. I hope you're ready for the final installment of the epic sci-fi hit: Ready Player One!

At last Wade has a plan he executed 3 weeks ago that will come in at a crucial moment to turn the tide of this battle. But will it be enough? Will Wade win the 400 billion dollars, or will he realize that the true prize was the friends we got along the way? Both. It's both. He gets the girl and the money. What do we get? We get to watch our lives crumble away as we're bankrupted by the very rich twenty-something we helped put into power. If there's a metaphor in here, you can bet Ernest Cline drove right past it in his DeLorean!

The story of Wade Watts and his journey through the Oasis of James Halliday is one that is filled with charm and jam packed with 80’s nostalgia.

Join Stu, James and Neil to geek out on 80-'s nostalgia, we review Ready Player One. In the year 2045, the real world is a harsh place. The only time Wade Watts truly feels alive is when he escapes to the OASIS, an immersive virtual universe where most of humanity spends their days. In the OASIS, you can go anywhere, do anything, be anyone-the only limits are your own imagination. The OASIS was created by the brilliant and eccentric James Halliday, who left his immense fortune and total control of the Oasis to the winner of a three-part contest he designed to find a worthy heir. When Wade conquers the first challenge of the reality-bending treasure hunt, he and his friends-aka the High Five-are hurled into a fantastical universe of discovery and danger to save the OASIS.

We breakdown the book Ready Player One by Ernest Cline. Ready Player One is a 2011 science fiction novel and the debut novel of American author Ernest Cline. The story, set in a dystopia in 2045, follows protagonist Wade Watts on his search for an Easter egg in a worldwide virtual reality game, the discovery of which would lead him to inherit the game creator's fortune. Cline sold the rights to publish the novel in June 2010, in a bidding war to the Crown Publishing Group (a division of Random House). The book was published on August 16, 2011. An audiobook was released the same day; it was narrated by Wil Wheaton, who was mentioned briefly in one of the chapters. In 2012, the book received an Alex Award from the Young Adult Library Services Association division of the American Library Association and won the 2011 Prometheus Award. A film adaptation, screen written by Cline and Zak Penn and directed by Steven Spielberg, was released on March 29, 2018. A sequel, Ready Player Two, was released on November 24, 2020. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

Topic: Virtual Reality Tutorial This week, we're looking in to Virtual Reality, the concept of going to other created worlds and living in them, either full time or temporarily. It's also an excuse to put my mom in my HTC Vive next week and have her experience VR as well. Being the total dare-devil she is, I'm curious as to what she'll think about it. What is it? The idea of Virtual Reality has meant a different reality that has been created in some way. The term Virtual itself was a kind of philosophy that meant a reality that was both ideal and real in some way. Today, we use the term Virtual to describe anything that originates from technology, or more specifically, computers. When we speak about Virtual Reality, we tend to talk about entering, or existing, in a digital/computer generated environment or scenario, typically through physical means. Today, we know Virtual Reality as head sets that you are able to view and interact with the virtual world through. Modern Virtual Reality is being used mostly for video games, but other applications such as transportation, medical, and even defense as well. VR In Media Depending on the media, whole civilizations or worlds may exist virtually, while some enter a virtual space for a short term time and leave once their jobs are done. Media often portrayed their Virtual Realities as either the Ideal reality you’d like to have, or as a modern system in which you have some control over. In the Ideal Reality, you are transported to a world where it’s the most ideal for you: somewhere you’d like to have traveled or existed in, or a world that is so different from our own that it ceases to be anything like ours anymore. The other example is often used like a prison, where people are kept and unaware that they are stuck or in there; and if they are aware, then they have little or no control over the world and are existing through it. There are also media that portrays Virtual Reality more as Augmented Reality; this is the idea that through special devices, you can see additional things in your real world setting and interact with them. Typically, all Virtual Reality requires you to need to enter a space where the reality will exist, wear some sort of device to access the digital world, or be connected to it directly to a machine through a port installed on the body. A common example is something like a headset that scans your brain for the actions you want to take, or connecting directly into your spine. Example in Media. Matrix (1999) Probably the most famous Example of Virtual Reality, the Matrix itself takes place in a world where humans are no fuel for robots, and in order to keep humans in line, they are connected to the Matrix. The Matrix itself is modeled on a late 90s, early 2000s, modern day metropolis, such as Los Angeles, Chicago, or New York, where humans are completely unaware that they are in any kind of Virtual Reality. Humans who have been disconnected from the Matrix, fight to find others who they can disconnect and join in the resistance against the Machines. Humans who have been disconnected can return back in to the Matrix, but can be uploaded with various knowledge packs, allowing them to know various fighting styles, how to use guns, and just about anything else. Neo(Keanu Reeves) is one such person disconnected, but later becomes capable of manipulating the Matrix to allow him to have superior strength, see through things in the Matrix, and even Fly. Inception (2010) In Inception, there is a military training device that allows people to share their dreams. The dream world can be manipulated to look or become just about anything within the dreamer’s perception or idea. Once in the dream, people can interact and travel in to other people’s dreams in order to steal or gather information about a person, or in Inspection, plant an idea. The movie shows off the ability to manipulate reality, and how it can be used to great advantage to create anything you want, or a great prison in which to get lost in. Leonardo DiCaprio is one such person who have been trapped in his own dreams before, and knows how to venture in to the dream to get information. Ready Player One In Ready Player One, most people are poor and barely surviving, much of the world’s resources are gone, but people still have the OASIS (Ontologically Anthropocentric Sensory Immersive Simulation). OASIS is a digital world where players can upload their creations and use them through the world. The movie, along with the book, play off of tropes and items from various media sources, like the Delorean from Back to the Future, a Gundam from Mobile Suit Gundam, King Kong from the same series, T-Rex from Jurassic Park, and even sets from the Shinning. The movie has its hero, Wade Watts, participating in a treasure hunt for the future ownership of OASIS after its creator’s death. 90s Cartoons VR Troopers Adapted from various Tokusatsu series: Metal Hero Series: Superhuman Machine Metalder, Dimensional Warrior Spielban and Space Sheriff Shaider. The series tells of three humans who are protecting the real world from enemies in a ‘Virtual Reality’ by transforming in to masked heroes. The series is uses footage from various Metal Hero Series, and none of the series actually line up with any of them. Super Human Samurai Syber Squad Adapted from Tokusatsu series Denkou Choujin Gridman, or Gridman the Hyper Agent, was DIC Production’s attempt to cash in on the Power Ranger’s fad of the 90s. The show’s action took place in a Digital World, where our Hero would transform in to Gridman/Servo and fight evil monsters that were really computer viruses. Star Trek – The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, Voyager, Discovery, & Picard By the time of the Next Generation, the 24th century, Star Fleet developed the Holo-Deck, a room that used shields and light to project a Virtual Reality. The notion was that the shields, a type of Force Field, would be projected in a room, and light would then be passed through/around them, creating various objects and spaces. The force fields could mimic heat and cold, texture and shapes, and the light would always seem to bounce off items perfectly. The rooms were usually the size of a small banquet hall, with the intention that multiple people could exist in the space at the time. Virtual people or creatures in a holo-deck are often known as Holograms, who can have very sophisticated AIs. Holograms typically can’t exist outside of the Holodeck without holo-emitters being placed in the surrounding space. In Discovery, they seem to have either early version of holo-decks being used, but not common in the rest of Star Fleet. By the of Picard, they no longer need to be in rooms, and can instead have holo-emitters placed in an area to generate the holograms. Holo-decks were often used as a means of changing up the scenery or locations in Star Trek. This allowed writers to write in historical characters or settings, or play on various notions or locations that wouldn’t be common in space. Famously, Voyager’s Doctor was a hologram that expanded his abilities/roles over time, showing the sophistication of the AI technology and programming. Many of his stories grappled with if a Hologram could be considered a person, or his limitations as a Hologram. Japanese Animation: Ghost in a Shell (1995) Perhaps one of the First anime to visit Virtual and Augmented reality, as well as a more definitive Cyberpunk setting. It tells of a future where cyberization, the act of becoming a cyborg or gaining machine parts, is common place. It shows how virtual worlds can be created within people and settings, and even how the world has been augmented with Virtual advertisements, signs, and even projections that can confuse the brain. It’s a series the goes on to ask what is real at the end of the day? Later series play with the notion of Virtual Reality and hacking more so. The series follows Major Motoko Kusanagi and Section 9, a task force for the Japanese Government, assigned with difficult missions that require utmost secrecy and security. .hack//Sign (2002) Read as ‘Dot, Hack, Sign’, the series started as an Anime, intending on promoting a Video Game series where you play a fictional MMORPG in, and started a franchise. The story tells that in 2009, a virus known as Pluto’s Kiss destroyed any computer connected to it, wrecking just about every electronic connected to it. Two years later, access to the network recovers, and the first game to come out for it is ‘The World’, an MMORPG with a fantasy Setting. Players log in to the world via head sets and interact with other people in this digital world, however mysterious things are happening, that cause players to go in to Commas after playing the game. One such person, Tsukasa, is trapped in the game via one of these mysterious happenings, and eventually gets out. They are eventually able to get out, only for other people to go in to Commas later on due to events. Sword Art Online (2012) Likely the more popular version of Virtual Reality, the first of its kind Virtual MMO is being released to only 100,000 people lucky enough to buy it. Upon first logging on, player discover that they can’t log out of the game, and are then told by the game’s creator that they are trapped in this Virtual MMO until they can reach the final boss of the game on the 100th floor, and if they die in the game, they die in real life due to the head set over clocking. The initial players are stuck for 2 years in the game, until they eventually get free, and continue going back in to various Virtual Worlds of different settings and genre. This anime shows the more common idea of what Virtual Reality is capable of, as a gateway to fantasy worlds and new games to play. It’s popularity spawned a number of sequels and copy cat anime, manga, and novels, which all seem to play on the theme of people being getting lost in their virtual world. VR HeadSets One of the First VR Headsets was ‘The Sword of Damocles’ which only projected a wire-frame square upon the world. It was the first in the late 60s, and was so heavy, it had to be suspended from the ceiling. While rudimentary, it started the Idea of this kind of technology being the future. By the 90s, various companies were trying to get the full Virtual Reality set up working, with Full body suits and chambers designed to give you the full immersion feeling of being in Virtual Reality. Sega was amongst the first to really create Virtual Reality Gaming, with Arcade Cabinets that featured headsets that tracked your vision and sign. While many companies tried to get it to take off, there was also a fair amount of failure, leading to many companies discontinuing the study in to VR. By the 2000s, Virtual Reality was a fad and not common study, with few companies really looking in to it. It wasn’t until 2010 when early versions of the Oculus Rift being developed that offered 90-degree field of vision that VR started to become more interesting. In 2012, Facebook would go on to buy Oculus VR for around $3 Billion. By 2013, Valve had joined in the development, developing lag-free software to make VR content more possible. A year later, they joined the market with the HTC Vive. By 2016, over 230 companies, from Apple, Amazon, Google, Microsoft, Sony, Samsung, Facebook, and more has developed AR or VR groups, developing new technology for the immerging market.
We did it and the wait is over! We're back in action with one of the best books of the decade. Today we pitch, summarize, and analyze READY PLAYER ONE. This fantastic debut novel by Ernest Cline. "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 10,000 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 20th century. And for years, millions have found in this quest another means of escape, retreating into happy, obsessive study of Halliday’s icons. 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?" . . . . . . . . . . . .Gothamlicious by Kevin MacLeod Link: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/5741-gothamlicious License: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Arcadia by Kevin MacLeod Link: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/3377-arcadia License: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Inspired by Kevin MacLeod Link: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/3918-inspired License: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/

From headsets to haptic suits, there is going to be a lot of accessories and apparel in XR to chose from, including some that expand senses you didn’t even know were XR-compatible. Antony Vitillo – AKA Skarred Ghost – drops in to discuss different devices with Alan, their use cases, and what companies should consider when they go shopping for some. Alan: Today’s guest is Antony Vitillo, better known as Skarred Ghost. Antony is an XR consultant and author of an amazing blog called The Ghost Howls. He also runs a consulting company called New Technology Walkers, where they develop VR solutions and advise companies about how best to use VR and AR. Antony recently traveled to the fourth annual VIVE Ecosystem Conference — VEC — in Shenzhen, China. If you’re not already following Tony, you can learn a lot by connecting with him on LinkedIn and subscribing to his newsletter at skarredghost.com. Tony welcome to the show. Antony: Hello, Alan! Thanks for this opportunity. Alan: It’s so great to have you on the show. I had a wonderful opportunity to speak with you many times, and we are both very, very passionate about virtual and augmented reality. I want to just thank you for taking the time to be on the show. Antony: I’m very happy to be with you. I’m happy to speak to you live, after so many messages we’ve done on LinkedIn. Super happy to be here. Alan: Let’s just dive right in, and we’re going to try to bring as much value as we can to the listeners today. We have a lot to go through; we’re going to go through all of the different hardware aspects involved in Virtual/Mixed/Augmented Reality — XR — and it’s not just the headsets or headphones. You’ve got things like haptic suits, haptic gloves. You’ve got touch-sensitive stimulators. You’ve got VR headsets, AR headsets. You’ve got mobile phone-based AR, eye tracking set devices, taste experiments, hot and cold devices, thermal devices, and then tracking systems for motion capture, and of course, treadmills for omni-directional walking. So there’s a lot to unpack here. Let’s start at something crazy; haptic suits. Let’s talk about haptic suits, and why and where these would be used in any industries. Antony: I’m very interested to have these suits, because they offer the promise of letting you use your full body in VR. So, finally, you can be there with all your body. You know, my first startup was about full-body in VR, but using Kinect. So, a different approach, but I’m a big fan of having the possibility to kick objects, to move your body in every possible way, and see your full self replicated in VR. The advantage of using the haptic suits over other approaches, like the one that they used with Kinect, is that you don’t only have your full body — your full movement — in VR, but you can also feel sensations. You can have haptic feedback. So you can [feel] hot, cold. You can feel pain and whatever. It’s really full immersion; a bit like we have seen in the Ready Player One movie. Wade Watts wore that expensive suit, to fully be inside the Oasis. This is why I think they’re very interesting, because they can really enhance your visual experience; your sense of presence, like your ancestors like to say. Alan: So, let’s unpack this for a second, Tony. What would some of the practical use cases of this… I can see one in military training, where you’re in a virtual world, you’re in a hostile environment, and maybe something explodes behind you — a piece of shrapnel hits you — and maybe it vibrates. Maybe explain some other instances, where this could be used in enter

Book Vs Movie (Replay) “Ready Player One” The Margos Put on Their Game-Faces in This Hyper 80s Ep The Margos are feeling stoked about this 1980s-centric soaked episode talking about a much-requested book/movie Ready Player One from first time author Ernest Cline. This pop-culture stuffed tale features more gamer references than anything we have remotely covered in the past so we are a bit nervous about how accurate we will be, (Be kind if you are a first-time listener!) Both book and movie have the same basic plot--set in the miserable 2040s, Wade Watts is a teenage orphan who wishes for a life outside the stacked trailer parks. In fact, most people are unhappy with the real world and choose to escape to the virtual world known as OASIS. Created by shy genius James Halliday, the OASIS survives after his recent death but he left several clues (“easter eggs”) for one person to discover and inherit his entire fortune and corporation. Wade (who goes by the moniker Parzival in OASIS) along with his crush Art3mis, best friend Aech and pals Daito and Sho is determined to find every easter egg in the hunt and his vast knowledge of both popular and obscure pop culture trivia sends him on an amazing journey. Cline sold the book and movie within days of each other in 2010 and serves as the co-screenwriter of the Steven Spielberg adaptation. (We seem to cover a ton of Spielberg on this show!) Which version did the Margo like better? Check out the link at the bottom of the page to find out.

At once wildly original and stuffed with irresistible nostalgia, Ready Player One is a spectacularly genre-busting, ambitious, and charming debut - part quest novel, part love story, and part virtual space opera set in a universe where spell-slinging mages battle giant Japanese robots, entire planets are inspired by Blade Runner, and flying DeLoreans achieve light speed. 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 10,000 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 20th 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?

Ready Player One is directed by Spielberg, Steven, who has had Asian stereotypes decorate his films all the way since IJ and the T of D (not including the vaguely Asian characteristics of the shark from Jaws). Ready Player One is about a kid named Wade Watts, whose alter ego is Parzival — regardless of which persona he inhabits, he’s a really bad actor. He has one face, and it’s a very ugly face. He earns no sympathy. Unfortunately, he survives in the end — but at least Simon Pegg does, too.This is a movie that thinks it’s really important. It’s about Steven Spielberg celebrating Steven Spielberg. It doesn’t care about the dangers of technology and instead makes technology seem awesome. It’s about worshipping a massive dork named Mark Rylance. It’s about Easter eggs, but there’s no rabbit in sight. There is, however, an Iron Giant, and Beetlejuice, and a lot of other dumb things.You probably shouldn’t watch this movie. If you do, we wish you luck. Also, you should definitely listen to this podcast, cause we hardly talk about the movie, since it’s not interesting. Instead, we talk about interesting things like Stranger Things, and cultural nostalgia, and mythology, and social media, and VR. Our podcast is a lot better than Ready Player One.

Book Vs Movie “Ready Player One” The Margos Put on Their Game-Faces in This Hyper 80s Ep The Margos are feeling stoked about this 1980s-centric soaked episode talking about a much-requested book/movie Ready Player One from first time author Ernest Cline. This pop-culture stuffed tale features more gamer references than anything we have remotely covered in the past so we are a bit nervous about how accurate we will be, (Be kind if you are a first-time listener!) Both book and movie have the same basic plot--set in the miserable 2040s, Wade Watts is a teenage orphan who wishes for a life outside the stacked trailer parks. In fact, most people are unhappy with the real world and choose to escape to the virtual world known as OASIS. Created by shy genius James Halliday, the OASIS survives after his recent death but he left several clues (“easter eggs”) for one person to discover and inherit his entire fortune and corporation. Wade (who goes by the moniker Parzival in OASIS) along with his crush Art3mis, best friend Aech and pals Daito and Sho is determined to find every easter egg in the hunt and his vast knowledge of both popular and obscure pop culture trivia sends him on an amazing journey. Cline sold the book and movie within days of each other in 2010 and serves as the co-screenwriter of the Steven Spielberg adaptation. (We seem to cover a ton of Spielberg on this show!) Which version did the Margo like better? Check out the link at the bottom of the page to find out. We are sponsored by Penguin Books in this ep! Marie Lu follows up her New York Times bestseller WARCROSS with WILDCARD which follows the story of Emika Chen who just made it out of the Warcross Championships alive and is now seeking to end Hideo’s plan for good. Emika joins the Phoenix Riders on the streets of Tokyo and there is a bounty on her head. How far will she go to ultimately take down the man she loves? Lu (who is also the author of the mega-hit “Legends” series) draws from her personal experience in the video game industry where she is creating a world that is revolved around a game that takes over the world. This is a thriller that serves as a satisfying ending to this unique tale. It’s available in hardcover, Kindle, and as an audiobook.

Affectionately referred to as a "nerdgasm" Ready Player One is the world wide best seller by Ernest Cline and now a movie by Steven Spielberg. It's 1980s pop culture references are a joy. The genius of the story is it will find young fans in the gaming community and older fans with it's plethora of Gen X easter eggs. Set in 2045, reality is an ugly place. The only time teenage Wade Watts really feels alive is when he's jacked into the virtual utopia known as the OASIS. Wade's devoted his life to studying the puzzles hidden within this world's digital confines—puzzles that are based on their creator's obsession with the pop culture of decades past and that promise massive power and fortune to whoever can unlock them. But when Wade stumbles upon the first clue, he finds himself beset by players willing to kill to take this ultimate prize. The race is on, and if Wade's going to survive, he'll have to win—and confront the real world he's always been so desperate to escape. This episode of #TheNewNormal is not so much a review of the book and movie but a discussion of whether the global virtual world at the centre of the story is possible and when and how it might play out. A fun chat with two of my poker friends and avid fans, Andrew & Maciek

The Screen Addicts enter into the many worlds created by the visionary director, Steven Spielberg as we list off our favorite works of his as well as review his recent film, 'Ready Player One'
Pour ce nouvel épisode, on s’attaque au gros morceau Ready Player One, le dernier Steven Spielberg. Un film qui peut marquer l’histoire du cinéma, on vous explique pourquoi à travers ce podcast ! Ready Player One est l’adaptation du roman éponyme « Player One » d’Ernest Clyne sorti en 2011. On se retrouve en 2045, dans un monde dystopique où les humains font face à plusieurs crises (énergétique, climatique, sociale…). Pour sortir de ce quotidien morose, les humains ont la possibilité de s’adonner à l’OASIS, un réseau mondial de réalité virtuelle qui peut réaliser tous les fantasmes par l’intermédiaire de casques et capteurs haptiques. Cette solution a été créée par James Halliday, entrepreneur geek que l’on peut rapprocher d’un Steve Jobs ou Mark Zuckerberg, qui va trouver la mort. A la suite de son décès, un jeu de piste se met en place pour trouver un easter egg qui permettra à son possesseur de gagner sa société GSS, ainsi que 500 milliards de dollars. On suit donc les péripéties de Wade Watts, jeune orphelin de 17 ans qui se met en quête de cet easter egg en bon fan de l’OASIS et de son créateur. A travers cette aventure, Wade devra affronter la corporation IOI (Innovative Online Industries) et son big boss Nolan Sorrento, qui fera tout pour accomplir son sombre dessein. Ready Player One est un projet « casse gueule », pouvant être perçu comme une succession de clichés autour de ses références pop culture jeux vidéo/cinéma. Steven Spielberg a-t-il réussi son pari ? Découvrez notre avis avec ce podcast 100% spoils ou à travers notre critique écrite sans spoils. Crédits : Back to the future – OST a-ha – Take On Me Van Halen – Jump Date du tournage: 29/03/2018
To coincide with the release of Ready Player One in theaters, we decided to review and discuss the novel it's based on! Out in 2011, written by Ernest Cline, the novel tells the story of Wade Watts and his friends searching for a valuable Easter egg in the OASIS, a virtual world. Listen to your favorite fake nerds discuss the novel before seeing the movie!
The Filmlosophers, Eddie Villanueva, Chad Riley and Spencer Williams, head to the OASIS for this week's review of Ready Player One (2018). Adapted from Ernest Cline's popular novel by none other than Steven Spielberg, the film follows Wade Watts and his avatar, Parzival, on a quest to complete a series of challenges and keep the multi-world digital space out of the hands of IOI, an evil corporation looking to lock down and commodify the OASIS. Starring Tye Sheridan, Olivia Cooke, Ben Mendelsohn, Mark Rylance, Simon Pegg and more, the story indulges in a slew of 80s pop culture references and offers a look at what our world could look like in the very near future.
Ready Player One In the year 2045, people can escape their harsh reality in the OASIS, an immersive virtual world where you can go anywhere, do anything, be anyone-the only limits are your own imagination. OASIS creator James Halliday left his immense fortune and control of the Oasis to the winner of a contest designed to find a worthy heir. When unlikely hero Wade Watts conquers the first challenge of the reality-bending treasure hunt, he and his friends-known as the High Five-are hurled into a fantastical universe of discovery and danger to save the OASIS and their world.
Infinity Games Podcast is a weekly podcast hosted by KelryxsKing and Jukeboxhero2323.In our thirty second podcast we talk about the book Ready Player One by Ernest Cline. The book focuses on character Wade Watts in a dystopian future where everyone is obsessed with a virtual world and an Easter egg hunt with a prize of 240 billion dollars. It is jam packed with 80's music, video game, and television references.

When the creator of a virtual reality world called the OASIS dies, he releases a video in which he challenges all OASIS users to find his Easter Egg, which will give the finder his fortune. Wade Watts finds the first clue and starts a race for the Egg.
(Photo by: Jaap Buttendijk / Copyright: © 2017 WARNER BROS. ENTERTAINMENT INC.) On this week's episode, CultureCast book editor Loretta Williams focuses on two books lighting up the Internet. "Ready Player One," a book by Ernest Cline and "Warcross" by Marie Lu are getting a lot of comparisons to one another. "Ready Player One" was adapted by Steven Spielberg into a movie that comes out in March. The sci-fi story tells of a future dystopia where the virtual world is as -- if not more -- important as the real one. "Warcross" is a novel with a heroine as its protagonist, that tells of yet another dystopia where virtual reality tail wags the real world dog. Are these novels a lot a like? Is one better than the other? Listen to this week's episode to find out! (in the photo above: TYE SHERIDAN as Wade Watts in Warner Bros. Pictures,' science fiction film "READY PLAYER ONE.")
Humans living in abject poverty are warring over the few of resources they have left. There’s an energy crisis, and fossil fuels are in low supply. The weather has gone to extremes. This is the setting of Ernest Cline’s science-fiction novel, Ready Player One, where human civilization is in decline, and life in virtual reality beats any day in the real world. This page-turning novel (which is being turned into a film by Steven Spielberg) follows a geeky protagonist named Wade Watts as he undertakes a mission to win billions by finding an egg hidden inside a virtual video-game universe called the OASIS. Among the many rich themes explored in the story is education, painting a picture that could provide lessons for how teachers and school leaders design for education today. EdSurge sat down with two interesting educators who are working to merge ideas from science fiction novels with our reality: Amanda Licastro, an assistant professor of digital rhetoric at Stevenson University, in Maryland. She encourages students to draw from science fiction in the writing courses she teaches and has entire assignments built around Cline’s novel. Sophia Brueckner, a former Google engineer, and artist who currently works as an assistant professor at Stamps School of Art & Design at the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor. Her work teaching engineering students to prototype from science fiction has been featured on NPR, WIRED, the Atlantic and a few other publications. https://www.edsurge.com/news/2018-01-13-ready-player-one-using-science-fiction-to-inform-the-future-of-education

Ready Player One has 4.6 Stars on 12,589 Published by Broadway books in August of 2011 #55 in the paid Kindle store 1, 1, and 2 in three science fiction indices. It's Coming out as a movie in March of 2018 directed by Steven Spielburg Blurb At once wildly original and stuffed with irresistible nostalgia, READY PLAYER ONE is a spectacularly genre-busting, ambitious, and charming debut—part quest novel, part love story, and part virtual space opera set in a universe where spell-slinging mages battle giant Japanese robots, entire planets are inspired by Blade Runner, and flying DeLoreans achieve light speed. 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? Am I going to read further? Of course I am. As a science fiction nerd, an online RPG player, and a YA fan, this one is right up my alley. This sounds like an exciting story with a lot of potential, and enough people, including my daughter, reccomending it that it should be a pretty safe bet I will like it.

Welcome back to Get to the Good Part! In this week's episode we push past the prologue and into the heart of the story. We meet our protagonist Wade Watts, talk stacks and explore the existential crisis facing mankind. Who's ready for some fun?!
Julie, Jeff, and Mike discuss the book Ready Player One: “In the year 2044, reality is an ugly place. The only time teenage Wade Watts really feels alive is when he's jacked into the virtual utopia known as the OASIS. Wade's devoted his life to studying the puzzles hidden within this world's digital confines, puzzles that are based on their creator's obsession with the pop culture of decades past and that promise massive power and fortune to whoever can unlock them. When Wade stumbles upon the first clue, he finds himself beset by players willing to kill to take this ultimate prize. The race is on, and if Wade's going to survive, he'll have to win—and confront the real world he's always been so desperate to escape.” - goodreads.com

Ouçam!!!! Qual a expectativa antes de ler o livro? Ouçam!!! Ou Sinopses “Alert!”[1] Valesi: Londres, o Romance, de Edward Rutherfurd: Sinopse:Londres, uma das maiores e mais importantes capitais do mundo, tornou-se protagonista de um livro que faz justiça à sua fama e à sua História. Londres, o romance é a saga viva dessa cidade grandiosa. Tudo começa com a chegada dos romanos, que derrotam o povo das ilhas britânicas e, onde havia apenas um povoado, fundam a cidade de Londinium. A aventura do crescimento e da evolução daquele vilarejo chega até os nossos dias através da vida de personagens memoráveis, como Julius, fabricante romano de moedas, que arrisca sua vida para encontrar um tesouro enterrado; Dame Barnikel, dona da taverna freqüentada pelo poeta Geoffrey Chaucer e seus peregrinos; Geoffrey Ducket, fundador de uma importante família da nobreza; Edmund Meredith e os atores da companhia de Shakespeare, no Teatro Globo; e a pequena Lucy, que vivia nas margens enlameadas do Tâmisa de Dickens. Através da vida dessas pessoas, podemos acompanhar a transformação de Londres na metrópole cosmopolita dos dias de hoje. Um romance criativo e inteligente que chegou às principais listas de mais vendidos britânicas e americanas. Eu, Robô, de Isaac Asimov: Sinopse: ‘Eu, robô’ reúne os primeiros textos de Isaac Asimov sobre robôs, publicados entre 1940 e 1950. São nove contos que relatam a evolução dos autômatos através do tempo, e que contêm em suas páginas, pela primeira vez, as célebres ‘Três Leis da Robótica’ – os princípios que regem o comportamento dos robôs e que mudaram definitivamente a percepção que se tem sobre eles na literatura e na própria ciência. Joshué: Os Anjos do Tempo, de Kevin J. Anderson e Neil Peart: Sinopse: Kevin J Anderson é americano de Racine, Wisconsin, nascido em 27 de março de 1962. O primeiro conto escrito por ele foi aos 8 anos de idade (!). No primeiro romance publicado Resurrection, Inc já recebeu prêmios. Isso lhe catapultou para grandes produções, especialmente expandindo universos fictícios já estabelecidos. Noa anos 90 escreveu três livros no universo de Arquivo X, sendo “Ground Zero” de 1995 e Ruins, de 1996, os mais aclamados pelo público, o primeiro alcançando a lista dos mais vendidos do London Times, e o segundo a do New York Times. Também escreveu diversos livros para o universo expandido (atualmente implodido) de Star Wars, tais como Jedi Academy e a série de 14 volumes Young Jedi Knights. Foi o escolhido por Frank Herbert para ser co autor dos livros da saga Duna e 1997, juntamente com Brian Herbert, trabalho que carregou até 2014. Paralelamente, escreveu a novelização dos filme A Liga Extraordinária e Capitão Sky, e uma série de sete livros de autoria própria, chamada “A saga dos sete sóis”. Além disso tudo, foi o co autor, junto com Neil Peart, do livro Os Anjos do Tempo, que é o nosso tema. A obra é ambientada em um universo Steampunk, onde tudo e todos existem e agem de forma controlada. O Relojoeiro é o grande líder desse mundo, e tudo é premeditado, calculado e estável. Até o momento em que o personagem principal, Owen Hardy, um garoto qualquer, que vive sua vida sob as ordens do relojoeiro como qualquer outro, em uma vila afastada, se vê abandonado, e parte para viver uma grande aventura, repleta de civilizações perdidas, pessoas intrigantes, alquimistas, viagens no tempo, barcos voadores e anarquistas. Papilon, de Henri Charrière: Sinopse: Nascido em Saint-Étienne-de-Lugdarès, Ardèche 16 de novembro de 1906 e falecido em Madrid, 29 de julho de 1973, Henri se alistou na Marinha aos 23 anos, e após servir por dois anos, se tornou um membro conhecido da criminalidade de Paris. Em 1931 foi condenado injustamente pelo assassinato de um rufião chamado Roland Le Petit e sentenciado a prisão perpétua, cumulada com trabalhos forçados, a serem cumpridos na colônia penal Francesa, localizada ilha de St. Laurent du Maroni, na Guiana Francesa. É a partir desse momento que começamos a acompanhar a história de Henri no livro. O título da obra faz alusão ao apelido da Charrière, Papilon (borboleta, em francês), pela tatuagem que carregava no peito. Após 11 anos de prisão, Henri, que nunca se conformou com o tratamento da justiça francesa, finalmente consegue fugir, encontrando refúgio na Venezuela. Charrière publicou suas memórias na França em 1969, e o livro vendeu mais de 1 milhão e meio de cópias. Foi transformado em filme em 1973, com Steve McQueen interpretando o papel do herói. Will: O 11º Mandamento: Sinopse: Depois de se conhecerem no navio que os levou da Índia para o Iêmen, o médico inglês Thomas Stone e a freira carmelita Mary Joseph Praise se reencontram num hospital em Adis Abeba, capital da Etiópia. Da união proibida entre os dois, nasce um par de gêmeos unidos pela cabeça, e operados em seguida. Para completar o cenário dramático, a mãe morre no parto e o pai desaparece no mundo, deixando os meninos nas mãos de um casal de médicos missionários. Shiva e Marion crescem juntos na Etiópia, mas uma mulher abrirá um abismo entre eles, separando-os radicalmente outra vez. Avançando por páginas em que não faltam lugares e personagens fascinantes, a saga se desloca da África para um hospital nos Estados Unidos. Traumas e decepções do passado ressurgem, e será preciso superá-los para reencontrar o amor que os une e a possibilidade de redenção. O Lobo do Mar: Sinopse: Poucos dias antes de completar dezessete anos, após mais uma bebedeira, Jack London caiu na água e só não morreu porque foi resgatado por um pescador. Logo após esse episódio, embarcou no Sophia Sutherland, barco destinado à caça de focas no Pacífico. Essas experiências estão retratadas no livro O lobo do mar. Lançado um ano depois do livro The Call of the Wild (O chamado da floresta) – ambos publicados com estrondoso sucesso -, este romance mostra o embate entre Humphrey van Weyden, um homem das letras, e Lobo Larsen, o implacável capitão da escuna “Ghost”, e a luta que ambos travam para sobreviver às tempestades e outros riscos mortais em alto-mar. Nos vívidos diálogos entre Wolf “Lobo” Larsen e Van Weyden, Jack London revive seus próprios questionamentos e produz uma soberba alegoria sobre a humanidade, o instinto de sobrevivência e o heroísmo. Rubens: STAR WARS – Marcas da Guerra: Sinopse: “Marcas da Guerra” é o primeiro livro oficial mostrando o que acontece depois do clássico “Episódio VI: O Retorno de Jedi”, dando pistas sobre o que podemos esperar de “O Despertar da Força”. Aqui você descobre que a guerra não terminou realmente e os traumas deixados por ela serão sentidos por muito tempo. Novos personagens e velhos conhecidos, agora devem escolher um lado: defender a criação da Nova República ou lutar pela volta do poder absoluto. Jogador n.º 1: Sinopse: “Um mundo em jogo, a busca pelo grande prêmio.” “Você está preparado, Jogador número 1?” O ano é 2044 e a Terra não é mais a mesma. Fome, guerras e desemprego empurraram a humanidade para um estado de apatia nunca antes visto. Wade Watts é mais um dos que escapa da desanimadora realidade passando horas e horas conectado ao OASIS – uma utopia virtual global que permite aos usuários ser o que quiserem; um lugar onde se pode viver e se apaixonar em qualquer um dos mundos inspirados nos filmes, videogames e cultura pop dos anos 1980. Mas a possibilidade de existir em outra realidade não é o único atrativo do OASIS; o falecido James Halliday, bilionário e criador do jogo, escondeu em algum lugar desse imenso playground uma série de easter-eggs que premiará com sua enorme fortuna – e poder – aquele que conseguir desvendá-los. E Wade acabou de encontrar o primeiro deles. As músicas que são citadas no livro vocês conferem nesta playlist no Spotify: Ready Player One Mateus: A Passagem – Justin Cronin: Sinopse: “Quando o homem tenta ser imortal, o fim da humanidade é questão de tempo”. Essa distopia conta a história de um mundo em que a humanidade está quase aniquilada por um vírus de um experimento biológico militar que saiu do controle, e com isso dizimou grande parte dos Estados Unidos (a falta de comunicação entre as colônias sobreviventes não nos permite saber se o fenômeno é mundial). Grupos de pacientes terminais de câncer são levados para a América do Sul em uma viagem que é o último desejo do enfermo, e voltam milagrosamente curados, pois o vírus dá uma grande resistência e fator de cura ao organismo hospedeiro, de maneira curiosa fazendo desenvolver o Timo. Em experimentos militares para potencializar a ação do vírus utilizam-se de prisioneiros no corredor da morte, que são transformados em criaturas como vampiros, super resistentes, muito ágeis e que os pontos fracos são a luminosidade e um ponto no meio do peito, onde é o coração. Não tendo o efeito esperado, buscam usar como cobaia uma criança, a garota Amy abandonada pela própria mãe. Após os seres escaparem do laboratório, matam 9 em cada 10 pessoas, e um transformam em outro vampiro. Após contar sobre o incidente a história pula 100 anos, e fala sobre uma colônia de sobreviventes que enfrenta o drama de continuarem sobrevivendo, mantendo a cidade iluminada 24 horas por dia através da energia fornecida em uma usina eólica, mas as baterias que armazenam a energia para ser usada nos dias que não tem vento estão com a vida útil no fim. Quando Amy aparece, os colonos buscam uma nova forma de combater essas criaturas. O livro tem elementos semelhantes aos livros de George Martin, como uma ótima descrição da colônia, cenários, etc, e faz com que o leitor tenha a simpatia por muitos personagens, mesmo os antipáticos. Um momento muito forte é no início do livro o abandono da Amy pela mãe O livro tem também várias narrativas e a história é contada além do modo converncional, por e-mails, e diários. Peter Pan tem que Morrer – John Verdon: Sinopse: Quarto livro de John Verdon sobre o detetive aposentado David Gurney. O livro cita os casos anteriores, porém sem dar spoiler, mesmo assim a leitura dos livros anteriores não é obrigatória para a compreensão deste livro. Como os livros anteriores, mostra um certo conflito das personalidades do David com sua esposa Madeleine, pois ele mesmo aposentado ainda gosta de solucionar casos, e mesmo que ele diz que só vai dar uma olhada no que a polícia tem, ele não consegue deixar de aprofundar nas investigações. Estar diante de um quebra cabeças é algo que ele não consegue estar sem se envolver e resolver o mistério, por outro lado, Madeleine quer uma vida tranquila após a aposentadoria do marido. Pontas que se fecham no final. A esposa de um grande empresário, com aspirações políticas é presa acusada da tentativa de homicídio, e o amigo de David, Jack Hardwick, desconfia que houve muita negligência na investigação, acusando injustamente Katherine Spalter, esposa de Carl da tentativa de homicídio e pede que Gurney dê uma olhada no caso. O assassino de aluguel, Peter Pan, é um criminoso frio e maquiavélico, que não mede esforços para cumprir sua missão. É um assassino de aluguel contratado exclusivamente para solucionar casos difíeis, é um criminoso caro. Após ver muita negligência na investigação (frase célebre do livro: Dave,meu garoto, não precisa me convencer de que a teoria é uma bosta. Eu sei que é. Tem mais furos do que o braço de um viciado em heroína. (Pág.46)) , Gurney percebe que a filha e o irmão de Carl podem ter contratado Peter Pan para matarem o empresário de modo que eles também ganhassem com isso (a filha a herança, e o irmão o controle sobre a empresa). Um destaque na cena quando Gurney está prestes a descobrir quem é Peter Pan, e por que ele atirou em Carl Spalter, cena esta que acontece em um parque de diversões.

Londres, o romance é a saga viva dessa cidade grandiosa. Tudo começa com a chegada dos romanos, que derrotam o povo das ilhas britânicas e, onde havia apenas um povoado, fundam a cidade de Londinium. A aventura do crescimento e da evolução daquele vilarejo chega até os nossos dias através da vida de personagens memoráveis, como Julius, fabricante romano de moedas, que arrisca sua vida para encontrar um tesouro enterrado; Dame Barnikel, dona da taverna freqüentada pelo poeta Geoffrey Chaucer e seus peregrinos; Geoffrey Ducket, fundador de uma importante família da nobreza; Edmund Meredith e os atores da companhia de Shakespeare, no Teatro Globo; e a pequena Lucy, que vivia nas margens enlameadas do Tâmisa de Dickens. rubensgpnetto 1 1:22:19 contato@edicaorapida.com.br (Edição Rápida)
Site: http://www.audiobooks.com/podcast | Email: podcast@audiobooks.com Welcome back to the Audiobooks.com Podcast! We're so glad you're joining us for this installment where we take a step back to check in on what we're listening to and review a couple recently completed audiobooks. In addition to finally discussing Ready Player One, Addy also gives us a synopsis of and her reaction to Every Last Word by Tamara Ireland Stone. Hopefully this will be a great segue into next week because we have the distinct privilege of speaking with the author of Every Last Word herself! We hope that you will join us for that interview. Popular, But Bad? Before jumping into our reviews of Ready Player One and Every Last Word, we explore a handful of books in popular culture that have been categorized as overhyped. Many books receive a lot of attention or a lot of praise either by the media or by a particular subset of people, but it doesn't necessarily indicate a work of excellent fiction. In fact, in many circles, book lovers might classify these books as bad! We fully acknowledge that judgments of this sort are highly subjective. Books on this list include the likes of Paulo Coelho's The Alchemist, Suzanne Collins' The Hunger Games series, and Rhonda Byrne's The Secret, which all have enormous fan bases and have received critical acclaim in certain respects. It is interesting to see what people are reading, what is trending on the New York Times' Best Seller List, and contrast that with the opinions and reviews of those books elsewhere. We found a surprising number of classics that often fall under this banner as well. One such book is Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov, originally published in the U.S. in 1958. Shortly following its release in the United States, a columnist for the New York Times wrote a rather harsh review of the book, not just highly critical of the book's content, but also critical of the snobbish intellectuals who gave the book so much momentum following its release in Paris several years earlier. At one point, the reviewer wrote: “There are two equally serious reasons why it isn't worth any adult reader's attention. The first that it is dull… The second is that it's repulsive.” A contemporary of this reviewer for The Atlantic, had nearly the exact opposite reaction. He closes his review by stating: “It is one of the funniest serious novels I have ever read; and the vision of its abominable hero…brings into grotesque relief the cant, the vulgarity, and the hypocritical conventions that pervade the human comedy.” As Addy states on the podcast, it's important to take each review and recommendation with a grain of salt, to understand the reviewer's general interests and to understand the subtext of taste. For every person who raves about a novel, there will be someone else to cut it down. Another classic that got its start with a bad review is Gone With the Wind by Margaret Mitchell, originally published in 1936. The reviewer found it riddled with convention—conventional dialogue, conventional characters—and yet states that Mitchell's style is rather unconventional for an early 20th century female novelist. The reviewer leaves the reader with a notion of puzzlement, as he praises the efforts of the author but has no distinct praise for the story. Now, over 75 years later, the book is regarded often as one of the greatest books of all times. In 2011, for the 75th Anniversary of the book's publication, TIME Magazine published an article that claimed Gone With the Wind has transcended criticism, along with Star Wars, in that it will never lose its relevance. Shaping Our Time Despite the critical or common reviews of books in popular culture, it is clear that these are the books shaping our times. Books like Ready Player One might not be literary masterpieces, but they are highly indicative of modern culture along the projected continuum of human history by presenting realistic peeks into possible futures. Given a certain set of scenarios, and a little imagination, we get a raw look at what could happen. Perhaps we won't see a future exactly like the one Wade Watts experiences in The Oasis, but the internet has certainly connected us to a virtual reality that is quickly becoming more fibrous than the physical world. The last century of books has brought with it an uptick in disturbingly possible dystopian future scenarios. Brave New World in 1932. 1984 in 1948. Fahrenheit 451 in 1953. A Clockwork Orange in 1962. The Giver in 1993. And then, more recently, cultural phenoms like The Hunger Games and Divergent. As much as our society can produce visionaries that seek to find solutions to the earth's problems, we also have novelists to paint word pictures about unpleasant futures that seem to be a direct result of humanity left unchecked. All of the dystopian novels listed above are currently available for your listening pleasure at Audiobooks.com! What is your favorite dystopian novel of the last century?
