Ready Player One is one of my favorite books that I have read this year (up there with The Martian), and I highly recommend this book for everyone if you are fine with language and mature content. It is set in the future, where a lot of things has gone wrong for the human population. The planet is in the third stage of the great recession, and more than half of the population is without food. War is constant, and the environment of course is screwed up. The only thing for most people that makes life worth living is a Massive Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game (MMORPG) named the OASIS. There is a lot of history that goes with the OASIS, but what is important to the plot is that James Halliday (the game’s creator) died. When the died, he left behind his multi-billion dollar fortune and the ownership OASIS game itself, but he did not simply leave it for his relatives (he didn't have any), he created a huge hunt that was filled with puzzles and games that only can be solved by people determined to know everything about Halliday’s life. This is a very fun and interesting, book which I think everyone should read.

It's amazing. I really liked your description. By the way other people, OASIS is like oculus rift or meta.
