I
listened to the excellent audiobook narrated by Wil Wheaton a few years ago and
thought a review might be timely since it is slated to be released as a movie
in 2018 (I think that is good thing).
It
is 2044. A lot of problems in the
world. People take refuge in a virtual
world called Oasis developed by James Halliday.
Halliday is now dead but has left behind clues for people to find and
eventually open an “Easter Egg” that will give the finder ownership of
Halliday’s fortune. Wade Watts (avatar –
Parzival) like many others around the world is trying to find the keys to the
puzzle. Not surprisingly, he does. Wade is a good guy and helps his friends
navigate the puzzles and it is this generous attitude that enables him to form
a group to like mined friends to eventually get to the promised land.
Cline
seems to have a nack for this sort of thing.

Starfighter)
