A world at stake. A quest for the ultimate prize. Are you ready?
In the year 2045, reality is an ugly place. The only time Wade Watts really feels alive is when he&;s jacked into the OASIS, a vast virtual world where most of humanity spends their days.
When the eccentric creator of the OASIS dies, he leaves behind a series of fiendish puzzles, based on his obsession with the pop culture of decades past. Whoever is first to solve them will inherit his vast fortune&;and control of the OASIS itself. 
Then Wade cracks the first clue. Suddenly he&;s beset by rivals who&;ll kill to take this prize. The race is on&;and the only way to survive is to win.
