A world at stake. A quest for the ultimate prize. Are you ready?
In the year 2045, reality is an ugly place. The only time Wade Watts really feels alive is when heâs jacked into the OASIS, a vast virtual world where most of humanity spends their days.
When the eccentric creator of the OASIS dies, he leaves behind a series of fiendish puzzles, based on his obsession with the pop culture of decades past. Whoever is first to solve them will inherit his vast fortuneâand control of the OASIS itself.Â
Then Wade cracks the first clue. Suddenly heâs beset by rivals whoâll kill to take this prize. The race is onâand the only way to survive is to win.
