| 1 | * AscendedFanon: Creator/AndyWeir, author of ''Literature/TheMartian'', wrote a RPO fanfic called ''[[http://www.galactanet.com/oneoff/lacero.html Lacero]]''. Ernest Cline liked it so much, he declared it officially Canon and had it included in a limited edition print of ''Ready Player One''. |

| 3 | ** Ernest Cline started his own variant of the contest in the book, [[http://www.ernestcline.com/blog/2012/06/05/three-hidden-keys-open-three-secret-gates/ seen here.]] |
| 4 | ** And OASIS exists... as an {{MUD}}. |
| 5 | ** Several online games, most notably Entropia Universe, are the same kind of MoneySink as OASIS is, providing ostensibly eternally free access but having real money trading happen. |
| 6 | ** Within VideoGame/EVEOnline and Entropia Universe, massive transactions that have a real world value of thousands of dollars are happening all the time, and a connection fault can wipe literally billions off someone's virtual wealth in seconds. |
| 7 | ** Invoked with Wade's [=DeLorean=]: Cline purchased one in real life with the proceeds from Ready Player One, complete with all of Wade's modifications (save the [[{{Intangibility}} oscillation]] [[Film/TheAdventuresOfBuckarooBanzaiAcrossThe8thDimension overthruster]] of course; ThisIsReality). |
| 8 | ** [[https://store.steampowered.com/app/779650/Ready_Player_One_OASIS_beta/ The OASIS actually exists as a real life VR game]], along with other similar [=VRMMOs=] such as [=VRChat=] and Lavender. |
| 9 | * DuelingWorks: The novel ''Literature/EscapistDream'' has been compared to this novel in recent times. While the two books are separated roughly 9 years apart, ''Escapist Dream'' was released two years after the more popular ''Ready Player One'' film adaptation. Since then both books have been contrasted side-by-side because they both tackled geek culture and pop culture references, inside a virtual reality world no less. The major difference is that ''Ready Player One'' referenced the 1980s while ''Escapist Dream'' referenced modern 2010s culture. Everything came to a point when one reviewer by the name of Carl Hannigan pointed out that ''Escapist Dream'' was "better than Ready Player One" in his article. For the most part, Ernest Cline's novel seems to have the better writing since it is a traditionally published book compared to its self-published counterpart, but Louis Bulaong's novel is noted to have better likeable characters and references that made sense. |
