Cyberpunk if we're taking about a feudalist future of weak governments and powerful companies. That's not a universe you can overcome by simply being a trivia machine.
I'm telling you now, it is not a significant minority. The same amount of people that will wake up from this will have always had a chance to wake up for one reason or another. Conspiratorial mindset is not philosophical, but personal; people do not escape based on any evidence. They escape because of personal changes like in their friend groups or careers, not because of news stories. Stop thinking of this as based on facts or ideology, but based on identity. Stop thinking facts will win a war of emotion.
Honestly, you can do better than Ready Player One. The characters sucked and win by being the most annoying type of media fans. The movie managed to improve on the dogshit characters a bit, but the obsession with pop culture references is even more disgusting in it.
WTF are you talking about? The government is more relevant than ever with how Trump is crashing the economy and sending people to camps. The politics hasn't felt this relevant in my entire life, yet you think it's somehow less so?

I'm saying that the standards are so low that not being an illegal person by virtue of existing is counting yourself lucky. Americans will never have healthcare as a right as long as the American government is the American government.
There's no way to know for sure until you try to exist in spaces as another gender. Autism does affect things in all contexts, but I feel way better in women's/mixed spaces than male only ones.
