THE START OF A NEW WAY OF LIFE

 I just read Ready Player One. Some say, stuff like that is fiction. But is it? If you look at the book, the people are living in a game. In this game, you go to school, go on quests, work, collect rewards, and even order items to have your items delivered. Interesting concept, to do all of this online. Wow what a life. You can create your own account, hide it, log in anywhere in the world and move forward just as if you are just a spectator. You can do extra things, you can build a circle of friends, and you can hang out in the privacy of a private location. You can send text messages, you can do video chat, you trade goods and you can help new players.

 The currency used is Bitcoin, or something to that effect. This is one of the most bizarre things I have ever heard of, Ordering things online? Oh, and corporations are part of this world as well, They are hiring people to help reach the ultimate goal. So basically, people are being paid to play a game on online! Richer people can buy more credits to amass a strategic hold over the haven-not's. I wonder, if we do not see this happening? People said Eagle Eye, Live Free or Die Hard, even the Net were just things that could never happen.
