Ironically, Wade and many other people think OASIS instead of the Earth is their real home. They devote their whole life to OASIS both physically and mentally. Actually, it is not a normal situation but a kind of tragedy. Since the Earth is almost destroyed, people just want to avoid the cruel reality and hide in a virtual game. Although living in OASIS provides people happiness, they cannot cheat themselves forever. The only solution is to save the Earth or move to another planet.

We can see this in the novel Ubik where the inertials experience illusions rather than reality. Some people are comfortable with living in their own reality, which is based on their subjective ideas on the world. Plato believes we should all seek to escape from this “cave”, our realities, made up of false perceptions and face the harsh realities although it can cause us pain. Just like the inertials had to face the reality that they were all in half-life and that they would eventually die.…

As Morpheus, the fictional character from The Matrix eloquently puts it “It is the world that has been pulled over your eyes to blind you from the truth.” The inability to recall a friend’s contact information without the aid of our smartphone’s contact list is an innocuous example of human reliance on technology. However, this is indicative of a bigger problem. The dwindling emphasis on honing working memory and exercising basic mental skills, due to the easy accessibility of gadgets that can perform these tasks, impacts our learning and cognition.…

    When Morpheus first shows Neo the real world he says to him, “Welcome to the desert of the real.” The world as Neo knows it does not exist and is merely a construction by machines. Life inside the Matrix is similar to that of the end of the 20th century yet it is a computer generated dream world built to keep humans under control in order to change them into energy. While connected to the Matrix humans are none the wiser about the fact that what they perceive to be reality is actually just a façade. The real world, the world outside the Matrix, on the other hand is a barren wasteland, a dead earth with no sun and thus no natural life apart from the a small minority of humans that have been disconnected.…

    Living in Mental Isolation In the book Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury, a seemingly unreal world is created, in which books are demonized and everyone believes that being different is a crime.
