Ready Player One

It’s 2044, and the world is not a happy place. Corporation is king, and the majority of humanity lives in the Stacks, a collection of trailers stacked 40 stories high on rickety scaffolding. But there is escape through OASIS, the fully-immersive virtual reality world created by James Halliday.  When Halliday died,  he hid inheritance within the world of OASIS. When 17 year-old Wade Watts unlocks the first key of the puzzle, he finds himself in an adventure of a lifetime. But there are evil powers afoot that threaten Wade’s real life. A nostalgic, edge-of-your-seat ride through Dungeons and Dragons, 80’s ephemera, and a protagonist that you can’t help but like, makes this novel a must read. Are you ready, Player One?
