Ready Player One is Sci-Fi Novel written by Ernest Cline. Set in the year 2045, Society is crumbling after multiple catastrophies and worldwide neglect as almost everyone in the planet choses to spend all their time in the virtual reality “OASIS,” a massive, no, epic online multiplayer game, like World of Warcraft or Runescape but multiplied by a million! The games creator, James Halliday, was absolutly obbsessed with 80s onward pop culture, as it was the period he grew up in, and so fills his game with countless references from everything from movies, video games, tv shows, music, books and much much more! When he dies in 2040 he leaves a will that says his now multi-billion dollar fortune, and control of his game, are hidden inside his game as an Easter egg, and the player who finds the 3 keys and gates first will find the egg and inherit Hallidays immense fortune. Egg Hunters, know as “Gunters,” have been searching for the egg for 5 years without any luck, until 18 year old Gunter Wade Watts, and his avatar Parsivel, finds the first key, and the story progresses from there. It is a story of absolutly epic proportions set in both a harsh depressing future and the worlds best video game imaginable at the same time. It is very well written and I found it impossible to put down, best book I’ve read in a long time! Continue reading “Ready Player One (Ernest Cline)- Book Review “
