Book 1 of the Ready Player One series.
It’s 2044 and Wade Watts only feels alive when he’s plugged into the virtual world of OASIS. This is where he goes to school, and where he hunts for the prize the late creator James Halliday of this virtual world has set: his entire fortune for the winner of a scavenger hunt through the pop culture of the 1980s. Wade has a genius thought and is the first person to win the first key that’ll allow him to win the grand prize. Together with his friends H, Artemis, Daito and Shoto he fights the evil corporation that is determined to win and even kills to get what it wants.
I didn’t think I’d love this as much as I did. But I loved every second of it! The pop culture of the 80s was plain sentimental… I first read this book in 2020, and have now re-read it for this challenge. I still loved it as much as the first time. Will Weaton is an excellent narrator!
