      Arthur Chu Retweeted Todd in the Shadows

      Remember how Andy Weir (author of The Martian) wrote a piece of fanfic that Cline thought was so good he had it included in future printings of the book About how the corporate bad guy (Nolan Sorrento) wants to destroy the OASIS because his sister died of VR addictionhttps://twitter.com/ShadowTodd/status/1334220750383763457 …

      Todd in the Shadows @ShadowTodd
      In "Ready Player One" Parcival says that he likes "Family Ties" because its easy sitcom resolutions give him relief from ugly reality; this is one of several hints at a more interesting book than the one that actually exists

      But the sequel, Ready Player Two, makes absolutely no reference to this backstory and casually disposes of Sorrento in one scene And even adds a whole big convo about how turning off the OASIS would collapse the economy so it's just off the table as an option

      I dunno, Weir's version of Sorrento comes off as a hell of a lot more heroic than Wade There's no material benefit for himself - he knows for sure his corporate masters will have him assassinated as soon as he destroys the prize he was hired to retrieve, and doesn't care

          In the sequel his big scene does in fact have him demand Wade hand over the Big Red Button to wipe the OASIS servers, but this is just presented as him being an unhinged madman who wants only petty revenge for being beaten in the last book It's a damn waste
