Ready Player One
by Ernest Cline (Goodreads Author)
by Ernest Cline (Goodreads Author)
What if the future was obsessed with the past?
Welcome to the Oasis, a virtual world where everyone works and plays to avoid the bleak ruin of the real world. Lacking an heir, the designer of this new world leaves a key to his fortune and ultimate power hidden somewhere in the Oasis right before he dies.
Suddenly, playing old arcade games and knowing obscure 80's movie references takes on an almost religious fervor.
This is an amusing and surprisingly suspenseful story. It was also recently optioned to be made into a movie.
Let the games begin. Ready Player One!
