A mysterious and massively wealthy creator of an online world called OASIS dies, his whole fortune willed to whomever can find the Easter egg he has hidden masterfully in his virtual universe that he created, to the tune of $250 billion and control of his massive company. In a country wrecked by economic despair and turmoil this incites a generation of egg hunters "gunters" that devote their lives to studying and searching for this illusive prize. We follow wade, a young boy with not much going for him except that he devoted 5 years of his teenage life to finding the egg. when, he finds the first clue that could lead him to the egg, he becomes catapulted into a ruthless and over-the top world.
The integration of the theme of real vs. not real sucks you in because for many people who learn, play, search in OASIS, virtual reality is their reality. This book has a great deal of action and is one of the more fast paced adventure books I have read. One of my favorite books so far.
