About Ready Player One

Ready Player One is set in a dystopian future sometime in the 2040s. Almost the entire world regularly plays in the virtual reality game called OASIS to escape their depressing world that’s suffering from pollution, socio economic problems, and overpopulation. When he died, one of the founders of OASIS anounced an Easter Egg hidden within the game that would give its finder full control over OASIS. Many players, calling themselves “”gunters””, make it their mission to find this Easter Egg which would make them unimaginably rich and powerful.

Of course, the multinational corporation IOI is hell-bent on finding the Easter Egg and monetizing OASIS for their own gain. Wade Watts, playing as Parzival eventually also joins the hunt for the Easter Egg and soon becomes the leader of the movement to stand up against IOI by beating them to it. However, the battle is soon fought in the real world as well as in the virtual one, with real stakes.
