Ernest Cline
Librarian's note: An alternate cover edition can be found here 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.
The movie & book are so different lmao I’m shook, I don’t remember this at all.
7This is actually a re-read for me, my first read was in 2014. I watched the movie a couple days ago and immediately wanted to go back to the book because I vaguely remember that the movie is a bit off. This time, I’m listening to the audiobook though because I’ve heard Wil Wheaton is an incredible narrator, and I’m excited to experience it in a whole new way!
0I looked up who’s the narrator of the audiobook and to my surprise it’s the same guy that narrated The Martian, which was a fun read/listen and to my bigger surprise was to find out Wil Wheaton is the boy from Stand By Me, my favorite movie growing up!
