The biggest ideas in tech often lurch into the lexicon before they are truly coherent. Jargon appears out of nowhere, underexplained and overused: the internet of things, the sharing economy, the cloud.

“Ready Player One” by Ernest Cline is an action-packed, Sci-Fi fantasy story.
The book starts in the early 2000’s, when James Halliday and his business partner Ogden Morrow are working on a project called the OASIS with their company, Gregarious Simulation Systems, or GSS for short. Halliday and Morrow come up with the idea to create a virtual reality world where people’s imaginations and creativity are the only limits. When the OASIS is first released in 2012, people are instantly engrossed in its fantastical and mythic worlds. But then, in the year 2039, Halliday dies. While sadness pours over the Earth, a spark of hope is sent from Halliday himself. He leaves a message announcing a contest. The first one to retrieve a hidden “Easter Egg” in his virtual reality world will inherit his stock in GSS, which is worth just over $240 billion.
nach Ernest Clines Bestseller
Im Jahr 2045 entflieht der Jugendliche Wade, wie Millionen andere, der Realität, indem er in die virtuelle Welt OASIS eintaucht, wo der Fantasie keine Grenzen gesetzt sind. Als der Erfinder nach seinem Tod drei schier unlösbare Rätsel hinterlässt, beginnt eine atemberaubende digitale Schnitzeljagd. Denn wer es schafft, die Rätsel zu knacken, erlangt unendlichen Reichtum und die Kontrolle über Oasis. Wade (Tye Sheridan) stellt sich der Herausforderung und so heißt es für ihn und seine jugendliche Avatar-Clique in der ORF-Premiere am Sonntag, dem 18. Juli, um 20.15 Uhr in ORF 1 „Ready Player One“! Star-Regisseur Steven Spielberg inszenierte das visuell beeindruckende Sci-Fi-Abenteuer und brachte damit den gleichnamigen Bestseller von Ernest Cline, der mit Zak Penn auch das Drehbuch schrieb, auf die Kinoleinwand. Gespickt mit zahlreichen Referenzen an die Popkultur der 1980er Jahre, weckt er dabei auch nostalgische Gefühle. In weiteren Rollen
No dia 6 de maio, o linguista americano Noam Chomsky foi um dos nomes mais citados no Twitter. O culpado foi Felipe Neto. “Chomsky DESTROÇOU o crush que eu tinha no Obama”, informou a seus 13,5 milhões de seguidores na rede. Felipe estava lendo “Quem manda no mundo?”, no qual o intelectual progressista ataca a política intervencionista dos EUA e passa em revista a intromissão americana em outros países desde o século XIX até o governo de Barack Obama. O fim do “crush” se deu porque Chomsky acusa o ex-presidente de promover “campanhas internacionais de assassinato”, referindo-se aos drones que mataram civis no Oriente Médio. Dias depois, anunciou a conclusão da leitura: “Este livro abre seus olhos.”
