Ready player one

2045. We're out of oil. We've wrecked the climate. Famine, poverty and disease are widespread. Like most of humanity, Wade Watts escapes this depressing reality by spending his waking hours jacked into the OASIS, a sprawling virtual utopia where you can be anything you want to be. And like most of humanity, Wade is obsessed by the ultimate lottery ticket that lies concealed within this alternate reality: OASIS founder James Halliday, who dies with no heir, has promised that control of the OASIS - and his massive fortune - will go to the person who can solve the riddles he has left scattered throughout his creation. For years, millions have struggled fruitlessly to attain this prize. And then Wade stumbles onto the key to the first puzzle. Suddenly, he finds himself pitted against thousands of competitors in a desperate race to claim the ultimate prize.

At once wildly original and stuffed with irresistible nostalgia, READY PLAYER ONE is a spectacularly genre-busting, ambitious, and charming debut--part quest novel, part love story, and part virtual space opera set in a universe where spell-slinging mages battle giant Japanese robots, entire planets are inspired by  Blade Runner , and flying DeLoreans achieve light speed.  It's the year 2044, and the real world is an ugly place.  Like most of humanity, Wade Watts escapes his grim surroundings by spending his waking hours jacked into the OASIS, a sprawling virtual utopia that lets you be anything you want to be, a place where you can live and play and fall in love on any of ten thousand planets.  And like most of humanity, Wade dreams of being the one to discover the ultimate lottery ticket that lies concealed within this virtual world. For somewhere inside this giant networked playground, OASIS creator James Halliday has hidden a series of fiendish puzzles that will yield massive fortune--and remarkable power--to whoever can unlock them.  For years, millions have struggled fruitlessly to attain this prize, knowing only that Halliday's riddles are based in the pop culture he loved--that of the late twentieth century. And for years, millions have found in this quest another means of escape, retreating into happy, obsessive study of Halliday's icons. Like many of his contemporaries, Wade is as comfortable debating the finer points of John Hughes's oeuvre, playing Pac-Man, or reciting Devo lyrics as he is scrounging power to run his OASIS rig.  And then Wade stumbles upon the first puzzle.  Suddenly the whole world is watching, and thousands of competitors join the hunt--among them certain powerful players who are willing to commit very real murder to beat Wade to this prize. Now the only way for Wade to survive and preserve everything he knows is to  win . But to do so, he may have to leave behind his oh-so-perfect virtual existence and face up to life--and love--in the real world he's always been so desperate to escape.  A world at stake. A quest for the ultimate prize. Are you ready? - Bloomberg, Best Books of 2016

Året er 2045. Verden er blitt et tilnærmet ubeboelig sted der lovløshet, store korporasjoner, fattigdom og energikriser har drevet en hel befolkning over i en massiv virkelighetsflukt. Wade Watts gjør som resten av verden og rømmer de nedtrykkende omgivelsene ved å bruke hver våkne time koblet inn i OASIS, et virtuelt utopi som lar deg være hvem du vil, hvor du vil. Et sted der du kan leve, spille, lære og forelske deg. Og i denne virtuelle verdenen har OASIS' skaper skjult en rekke umulige gåter som kan gi den som løser dem en enorm formue, og enda større makt. I årevis har millioner deltatt i jakten på den absolutte pris, og i årevis har jakten ført de lenger bort fra den bistre virkeligheten som omgir dem. For å finne løsningen på gåten har OASIS' geniale, og gale, opphavsmann sørget for at alle må fordype seg i hans egne besettelser for å finne løsningen. Og besettelsen? Åttitallets populærkultur. Men virkelighetsflukten blir et spill om liv og død da Wade Watts en dag plutselig snubler over løsningen på den første gåten. Referansene strekker seg fra John Hughes komplette filmografi til Pac-Man, og gjør Ready Player One til en hysterisk morsom og tankevekkende hyllest til tiåret alle elsker å hate.

The bestselling cult classic--soon to be a major motion picture directed by Steven Spielberg. In the year 2044, reality is an ugly place. The only time teenage Wade Watts really feels alive is when he's jacked into the virtual utopia known as the OASIS. Wade's devoted his life to studying the puzzles hidden within this world's digital confines--puzzles that are based on their creator's obsession with the pop culture of decades past and that promise massive power and fortune to whoever can unlock them. But when Wade stumbles upon the first clue, he finds himself beset by players willing to kill to take this ultimate prize. The race is on, and if Wade's going to survive, he'll have to win--and confront the real world he's always been so desperate to escape.

Når virkelighetsflukten blir et spørsmål om liv og død. En hel verden står på spill. Løser du gåten vinner du alt. Er du klar? Det er 2045 og virkeligheten er et stygt sted. De eneste gangene Wade Watts virkelig føler seg levende er når han er koblet inn i OASIS, en uendelig virtuell verden der nesten alle på jorda tilbringer sine våkne timer. Da den eksentriske skaperen av OASIS dør, etterlater han seg en rekke umulige gåter basert på hans besettelse av fordums populærkultur. Den som blir den første til å løse alle gåtene, kommer til å arve hans enorme formue - og kontrollen over OASIS. En dag finner Wade løsningen på den første gåten. Plutselig er han omringet av rivaler villige til å gå over lik for å vinne. Kappløpet er i gang - og du overlever kun om du vinner.
