Ernest Cline's Ready Player One series plunges readers into the year 2045, a bleak dystopian reality where humanity escapes into the OASIS, a sprawling virtual universe. When the creator of the OASIS dies, he leaves behind a series of complex riddles and challenges, promising his entire fortune and control of the virtual world to the first person who can solve them. This pulse-pounding science fiction adventure combines high-stakes competition with a love letter to 80s pop culture.

The first novel, Ready Player One, introduces Wade Watts, a teenager who stumbles onto the first clue after years of global stagnation. Suddenly thrust into a desperate race against corporate enemies and fellow hunters, Wade must navigate virtual danger and real-world consequences. The series is a masterful blend of dystopian fiction, action and adventure, and immersive virtual reality that has captivated millions of readers and inspired a major motion picture.
