Are you ready for the Readyverse, because the virtual reality of Ready Player One is coming to a device near you. Ready Player One may have been more than just a movie, it may have been predictive programming for a cyberpunk dystopian nightmare.
Readyverse Studios was co-founded by Futureverse (an AI and metaverse technology and content company) co-founders Shara Senderoff and Aaron McDonald, as well as Ernest Cline, author of Ready Player One, and Dan Farah, the producer of the movie Ready Player One.
PR Newswire writes that: “Readyverse Studios is building the definitive destination for fans to explore their favorite stories and IP in the metaverse, leveraging web3, metaverse games and experiences, augmented reality, and virtual reality technologies.”

Are you ready to lose your personal identity and lose all sense of authenticity? Simply pick a really cool avatar, the complete opposite of your real-world self, and welcome to Shangri-La.

Are you ready to see an ad for the latest erectile dysfunction wonder-pill flashing against the bedroom ceiling just before getting intimate with that cute ten you picked up at the bar? Yeah, because in the Readyverse, you will have no privacy, and all your personal information will be commodified and exploited. Not that you should be embarrassed by the ad, though, because in reality, that cute ten will be a fat, sweaty middle-aged man behind VR glasses stuffing his face with Twinkies and living out his perversions in virtual reality.
Oh, and that funny thing you did with that goat once because you were alone in an empty virtual field? Yeah, everyone working at the Readyverse knows about that, so there goes your political aspirations – unless you’re willing to be a Manchurian candidate for big corporations with no soul and who cares nothing for a breakdown in social and ethical norms.
Are you ready to become addicted to virtual reality, to become emotionally numb and apathetic to the real world, and increase your anxiety? Are you ready to become even more despondent with social decay, authoritarianism, and hopelessness of the real world? Immerse yourself deeper into virtual reality.
