In the year 2044, reality is an ugly place. The only time teenage Wade Watts really feels alive is when he's jacked into the virtual utopia known as the OASIS. Wade's devoted his life to studying the puzzles hidden within this world's digital confines, puzzles that are based on their creator's obsession with the pop culture of decades past and that promise massive power and fortune to whoever can unlock them. When Wade stumbles upon the first clue, he finds himself beset by players willing to kill to take this ultimate prize. The race is on, and if Wade's going to survive, he'll have to win—and confront the real world he's always been so desperate to escape
Review:
The book started laying out the world in the future. Where games that are played in virtual reality powered by terabytes of internet connection speed is very normal. In the story, everybody plays the game Oasis made by one of the geekiest and richest guy on the planet, Halliday. Oasis is a virtual world that shelters real people who ran away from their real lives. The story anchors its plot the moment it reveals that Halliday died and all his fortunes are up for grabs to whoever player of the Oasis wins the last game he made inside his game Oasis, the hunt for his magical egg. The winner of the game will basically be the next Halliday, the owner of the biggest game on the earth and of course one of the richest guy living. The game for the hunt of Halliday’s magical egg are outlined by hunting three keys, the copper key, jade key and the crystal key. Once all three keys are collected, the player who did it first gets the front row seat in unraveling the location of the magical egg.
