So my late teens/young adult son and I saw the movie Ready Player One when it came out because it looked so cool to him and I didn’t find anything too offensive about it. It was as expected. He loved it and I dozed off a time or two, though he didn’t notice.
More recently he mentioned the book was much better and that I should read it…well, I finally borrowed it from the library.
Yeah, it’s different - in the worst way.
I remember the uproar in Christian circles about the Golden Compass series pushing atheism. So as I begin reading Ready Player One, I’m about a chapter in when the protagonist teen realizes that “adults had been lying to him his entire life”, and due to his diligent reading and research he found out that God is a myth and we’re all just animals.
( So basically what they teach in public school, but dressed up to be a parental conspiracy to control children.)
I’m surprised I never heard about this? Is this old news?
Very disappointing to see this message so often pushed on our kids. And the perpetrators are like the devil: sneaky, subtle, etc.
