Ready Player One
By: Ernest Cline
Life is hard in this new digital world. In 2044, the distant future where humankind used up all their natural resources and people now rely on VR headsets to live their everyday lives. Right from the start of the book the author introduces a super smart guy named Halliday and he is the one who made the world’s most famous game called “Oasis”. The game is a massively, multiplayer, online game or in gamer talk an mmo with endless things to do. When Holliday died he released a video telling the people all over the world that hidden in his game there is a secret easter egg and to the player that finds it they will get his entire fortune. Seeing how the world is in a horrible state and seeing that about everybody has this game the Oasis was filled with people on the search for a clue of the easter egg. Also for the player that finds a clue or gets closer to finding the easter egg their player name will show up on the high score list. After 4 years of nobody finding anything and most people now giving up one kid, Wade’s, name is displayed on the high score list.
This book even though I haven’t finished the book yet I can tell that it is going to be amazing. If you are a gamer you will enjoy this book even more but, even if you aren’t a gamer this book gives interesting ideas of a dystopian world. Also knowing that right now in the year 2017 we have VR headsets it is cool to think that soon we could depend on these VR to go to digital school or a library or any other place of learning. I would recommend this book to every kind of student or adult because it can cross harder level ideas that make you think. Also I would definitely recommend this book if you are a big fan of dystopian style books. I would rate this book a solid 9 out of 10.
