When James Halliday, creator of the OASIS, the endless
virtual world ever created, dies, he announces to the world that he has left an
Easter Egg somewhere in OASIS and the first person to find it inherits pretty
much everything he has, including ownership of OASIS itself. Millions of people, who call themselves
gunters, start looking, including a corporation called IOI, which controls most
of the Internet access in the world. IOI,
whose hunters are called SIxers, wants to change the OASIS and most of the
world agrees that the changes they want to make don’t fall in line with
Halliday’s vision. Many years go by
without anyone having any luck and until a teen named Wade uncovers the first
key and clears the First Gate. Soon
others are following, including the Sixers, who plan to kill not only Wade’s
avatar in the game, but Wade himself if he refuses to cooperate with them. This is one of the best books I’ve read,
ever. I would give this to anyone that
likes any type of fantasy or science fiction.
In fact it will probably become the first book I would tell people
about. I completely loved it.
