Overview & Summary
In a bleak 2045 where most people escape crushing poverty by living inside a vast virtual reality called the OASIS, teenager Wade Watts becomes an unlikely contender in a worldwide contest to find a hidden Easter egg left behind by the OASIS's late creator, a prize that comes with control of the entire virtual universe and its immense fortune. Ernest Cline's novel is steeped in 1980s pop-culture references and pits Wade against a ruthless corporation racing for the same prize.
