in a good and cool timeline, ready player one the book and the movie would both be scathing takedowns of nostalgia-driven consumerism but instead it's just giving nostalgia-driven consumerism a blowjob
-
ready player one is a book that is entirely marketed on the premise of nostalgia, the story has nothing to offer other than arguments in favor of buying and consuming and burying yourself in nostalgic brands and fiction, of quotes and memorization as the highest form of love
then I completely agree in regards to the book, though having not seen the movie I can only imagine that it's just as bad. your initial premise seemed to me to imply that nostalgia and making nostalgia-driven purchases are inherently bad tho

-
nah, the story celebrating nostalgia-driven purchases as inherently moral and good and the magical cure to life's ills is what I think is inherently bad
-
that's kinda messed up, nostalgia-driven purchases are amoral at best. nobody ever advanced society by constantly thinking back on "the good ol' days"
