Isn't the backstory of "Ready Player One" that a worldwide pandemic caused everyone to become socially isolated, the economy collapsed leaving most in poverty and then everyone ended up in some metaverse as a result?
Yeh... that's fairly accurate.
At the time it seemed great.
With zero research we stumbled into the theater on vacation in (2018?), pleasantly surprised by all the 80's chochskies. So much 80's stuff in the movie.
At the time, we didn't know about metaverse or covid. So it seemed innocent. And, the book, maigosh. The prototagonist has balls in the book! Several male characters do that are sissified for the movie.
