What do they tell you about the functions of the system? Examine names from other fields of science. OASIS stands for “Ontologically Anthropocentric Sensory Immersive Simulation.” Examine the etymology of each of the words in the system’s name. How much of this technology currently exists?Ĥ. Explain how the technology involved in the components of the system work (for example, haptic technology, retina scans). Watts describes preparing to play OASIS on page 26 and gives further details about the system on page 58. On page 25, Wade Watts explains how he creates a mechanism for recharging his device using, “a rack of old car batteries and a modified exercise bike.” Based on principles of physics, explain how this mechanism could work.ģ.

Describe the extent and impact of global climate change in the novel. This is the only novel in the guide that features computer science-a field that is particularly appealing to today’s high school students.ġ. ) The story of a young man’s quest to win an “Easter egg hunt” in virtual reality, this novel is fast-paced and fun to read. In fact, the author, Ernest Cline, recently spoke with Forbes magazine about current breakthroughs in technology and the directions they could take us. Ready Player One provides a fascinating glimpse into the potential of advanced virtual reality technology. This is a novel set in the not-to-distant future: the year 2044.
