READY PLAYER ONE<\/a><\/h2>\n

Ernest Cline (Author)<\/em><\/h2>\n

Set in the year 2044 the world is almost destroyed. The natural resources have been depleted and poverty prevails. People live in Stacks which are trailer homes piled on top of each other.\u00a0Each stack has more than 20 homes piled on top\u00a0of each other. The real world is cruel and people are\u00a0struggling to make ends meet.<\/p>\n

The protagonist, Wade Watts is an 18-year-old boy\u00a0who attends a virtual school\u00a0and practically live in\u00a0OASIS which is a virtual reality containing loads of planets and landscapes. OASIS was created by a billionaire yet lonely computer geek\u00a0James Halliday\u00a0who\u00a0was\u00a0obsessed with the 1980’s.\u00a0No one shows their real identity and instead have avatars to represent then in the virtual world. Wade’s avatar is Parzival (a takeoff of Percival the Knight which was already taken)\u00a0.It is here that he meets his best friend’s avatars Aech and Art3mis.<\/p>\n

When the book opens we find out that\u00a0Halliday is dead and his will states\u00a0that all his fortune will go to the person who\u00a0\u00a0will\u00a0solve the riddle to find the three magical keys\u00a0concealed\u00a0somewhere\u00a0in OASIS to ultimately\u00a0figure out the hidden prize\u00a0–\u00a0an egg.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a05 years have passed and the scoreboard is still empty. All the gunters (egg-hunters)\u00a0are clueless and so are the sixers (agents of an evil corporation called IOI and since they codes start with number 6 hence the name sixers). Then on one fine day the name Parzival appears on the scoreboard. Wade (Parzival) manages to clear the first level and instantly becomes an over night hit.\u00a0\u00a0And so the deadly\u00a0game starts. What follows is an intense treasure hunt inside a massive virtual online environment. The sixers (vilians)\u00a0will stop at no cost and will even kill people to find the egg. Will Wade or his friends find it in time or will the sixers kill them?<\/p>\n

A must read, it is so addictive\u00a0that once you pick it up, its hard to put it down.\u00a0It is\u00a0more of a Young Adult book. You don’t have to be a video game lover or a geek\u00a0to enjoy the book. Though set in year 2044, you will be transported back to 1980’s since that’s where the clues to the game lie.\u00a0 Hurry and read it before the movie comes out.<\/p>\n

Till then,<\/p>\n

Happy Reading!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
