What’s in it for you

What’s it about?

Ready Player One is set in the future (2044-2045) where the world is in extreme poverty, technology has advanced tremendously, and most humans don’t interact face to face. Our narrator, Wade Watts, spends most of his time inside a simulation called the OASIS. He’s not the only one. Most of the world interacts through the OASIS, goes to school, runs a business, and more. A contest is held to find easter eggs within the OASIS and win the fortune of a tech mogul who helped create it. It’s not all fun and games, and some unsavory characters come into the fold.
