Ready Player One

The bestselling cult classic—now 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. His devotion to solving puzzles hidden within the game's digital confines has made him an international celebrity—but it also makes him a prime target for the corporation running the game. When he stumbles upon the first clue, Wade 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.
