Ready Player One takes place in the not-so-distant future--the world has
turned into a very bleak place, but luckily there is OASIS, a virtual
reality world that is a vast online utopia. People can plug into OASIS
to play, go to school, earn money, and even meet other people (or at least
they can meet their avatars), and for protagonist Wade Watts it certainly
beats passing the time in his grim, poverty-stricken real life. Along with
millions of other world-wide citizens, Wade dreams of finding three keys
left behind by James Halliday, the now-deceased creator of OASIS and the
richest man to have ever lived. The keys are rumored to be hidden inside
OASIS, and whoever finds them will inherit Halliday.s fortune.
But Halliday has not made it easy. And there are real dangers in this
virtual world. Stuffed to the gills with action, puzzles, nerdy romance,
and 80s nostalgia, this high energy cyber-quest will make geeks everywhere
feel like they were separated at birth from author Ernest Cline.-Chris Schluep
