Back to OASIS with ONI (Ready Player Two - Ernest Cline)

“...My friend Kira always said that life is like an extremely difficult, horribly unbalanced videogame. When you’re born, you’re given a randomly generated character, with a randomly determined name, race, face, and social class. Your body is your avatar, and you spawn in a random geographic location, at a random moment in human history, surrounded by a random group of people, and then you have to try to survive for as long as you can...”

Have I ever told you that 2020 is full of surprises?

Yep. Kejutan di tahun ini memang kayak ga abis-abis gitu. Selain hal-hal mencengangkan yang terjadi di dunia nyata, sebagai penikmat perbukuan kita juga dikejutkan di penghujung tahun dengan kehadiran judul-judul buku menarik yang mungkin tak disangka bakal ada. Salah satunya READY PLAYER TWO, sekuel READY PLAYER ONE yang dibikin Ernest Cline pada tahun 2011 silam. Pilemnya juga udah hadir bikinan Steven Spielberg beberapa tahun lalu, kalau mau curhatannya bisa dicek di sini.

READY PLAYER TWO hadir di penghujung November 2020 dengan sindrom ketakutan klasik: apakah ini akan semencengangkan buku pendahulunya?
