WOW. If you are a child of the 80's, you HAVE TO read this book. Such a good book. Read this now! Five stars don't do this book justice. I would give it a ten. It's set in the 2040's, a bleak future when the great recession is going on its third decade, humans have vastly overpopulated the planet, and global warming has decimated the earth. The majority of human interaction, whether for work, school, or pleasure occurs in a virtual reality world known as OASIS. The man who developed OASIS recently died alone and left his billions to the person who can find all of the easter eggs he has left behind with a series of clues. Wade Watts is a teenager living in a trailer park when he finally figures out the first clue and is sent on an adventure where he encounters friends and mortal enemies in a world peppered with 80's cultural references. This book was the most fun to read, and the best book I've read this year. You owe it to yourself to read this.
