This is another dystonia I am to dive into, one of my favorite places to read about but have nightmares about being in them. This one takes place in 2044, only 28 years from now, where the earth and populated areas are a wreck and people escape to the Oasis, a virtual world of puzzles and promised pleasure. With a prize at the end that promises power and fortune to who that unlocks it. Though the journey is dangerous and hard, not just because of the puzzles, as groups of greedy people attempt to murder Wade Watts, a young boy living with his father in the ugly reality of their world, to get themselves closer to the end goal.
A world of both reality, the real and the virtual, or danger and puzzles and riddles. Constantly laced with pop culture references and rich era history, this book is begging to be devoured by my eyes and spit out onto my blog.
So, we begin together, once again, on another journey.
The author, Ernest Cline, is a total geek, to which his writing proves. Constantly moving around in occupations landing himself as an author for this geeky book that matches his personality. He also wrote the 2009 film "fanboys" kick starting his creative juices to bring us his first novel, Ready Player One. Including a crazy tornado attack at a young age he has always lived in a crazy Sci-Fi world of his own imagination. Witty, humorous, vintage and honest, with this authors insane background and warm personality I can only expect this book to be a high success.
