Ready player one by ernest cline5/24/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() The story takes off when there is breaking news that Halliday has died and left his fortune ($Billions) to whoever can complete the quest he has laid out, which is to find a Virtual Egg hidden in the OASIS. Wade spends pretty much all of his time plugged into OASIS. Wade Watt, the books protagonist, lives with his aunt and uncle in their trailer since his parents died. OASIS is made up of 1000’s of planets and worlds catering to everyone, no matter what type of reality you want. Most of the population escapes their bleak everyday existence by plugging into OASIS, a virtual reality created by a Steve Jobs/Bill Gates type named James Halliday. It’s best to think of OASIS as a Playstation, but with a headset and gloves, and other special equipment that helps the user enter the Virtual Reality seamlessly. RPO is set in the near future, in a dark and depressing world suffering a major energy crisis. Ready Player One is a “quest novel”, which is an adventure novel where the protagonist must overcome a series of obstacles to achieve his/her goal. First up is Ryan Stout’s review of Ready Player One by Ernest Cline.
