        I didn’t know that meme, and the original tweet is funny and really hits the nail on the head for a lot of things…

        But from what I’ve seen of the movie, Ready Player One is more like “Please create the Oasis, so that asshole can have fun”.

      Snowcrash was a dystopia too but that didn’t stop tech bros from jerking it to the metaverse.
