Ready Player One: A Novel

The bestselling cult classic—soon to be a major motion picture directed by Steven Spielberg.

In the year 2045, 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.

But 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.
