    Now I’m actually wondering if the author thinks the Ready Player One world is worth living in.

      He really does.

      Ready Player One sounds, on the surface, like a searing critique of corporate capitalist bullshit, but in the end the actual upshot in the novel and movie is “We need kinder, gentler billionaires to be our feudal overlords”.
