SOON TO BE A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE DIRECTED BY STEVEN SPIELBERG
It's the year 2044, and the real world has become an ugly place. 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, where you can live and play and fall in love on any of ten thousand planets. 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, knowing only that the riddles are based in the culture of the late twentieth century. 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, a chase that soon takes on terrifying real-world dimensions - and that will leave both Wade and his world profoundly changed.

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 byBlade Runner, and flying DeLoreans achieve light speed Justin Trudeau Independent
Schnitzeljagd
auf den heiligen Gral
Wade Watts hat nicht viel zu verlieren im Leben. Der verwaiste Junge mit dem Superheldennamen ist ein Niemand. Ein Glück, dass es das Multiplayer Onlinespiel OASIS gibt. Im Jahr 2044 ist die Weltgesellschaft an ihrem Tiefpunkt angekommen und OASIS ihr dystopisches Refugium, ihr digitaler Neustart. In seinem Debütroman „Ready Player One“ aus dem Jahre 2010 stellt der amerikanische Schriftsteller und Drehbuchautor Ernest Cline, Jahrgang 1972, die Online-Community vor drei Geheimnisse. Wer diese zuerst löst, wird Erbe des Multimilliardärs und OASIS-Gründers James Halliday. Die virtuelle Schnitzeljagd auf den heiligen Gral ist eröffnet, und Wade und sein Avatar Parzival sind mittendrin. Der Schlüssel: Die Popkultur der Achtzigerjahre, denn OASIS ist ein Mega-Mashup aus allen Universen und Medien, die das Fanherz begehrt: Mittelerde, Vulkan, Scheibenwelt. Duran Duran trifft „Dungeons and Dragons“. „Ready Player One“ ist eine charmante Liebeserklärung an das Fandom, an die Freaks und Geeks, die immer hoffen, mit vermeintlich nutzlosem Trivia-Wissen irgendwann den Kampf ihres Lebens ausfechten zu können.
