Rating 💗💗💗💗
The book is a throwback to the 1980's that's set in 2044. The world as we know it has ceased to exist due to much chaos including overpopulation. Instead we now have people stacking up trailers and living in them, families can not take more space than what they actually need and most people are broke. The world is a mess and the one escape people living in it have is The Oasis.
The Oasis is a virtual world where you can be, see and do anything you want. A vast ocean of worlds of many themes, although many of these worlds have two things in common, they are based on other video game worlds and they are greatly inclined towards the 80's.
The day comes in which the creator of The Oasis dies and leaves a will in which he declares that he has hidden 3 keys in his virtual world, these 3 keys open a sort of Easter egg in the game (for those of you that are not gamers, an Easter egg is a bonus mini game that some video games have inside them) and whoever wins this game will get not only his billions of dollars bank account, but also become the major share holder in The Oasis. He leaves everyone a copy of his memoirs and a clue to get started. That's the basics of the game, but there's plenty more to it.
Not only will anyone who lived in the 80's enjoy reading this, but gamers of the world will find it interesting. The book also tackles what it's like to be a teen in a world where virtual reality is more common amd more accepted than the real world. It deals with themes like falling in love and making friends when you don't even know who is on the other side of the avatar you're seeing.
I found the book to be very entertaining, it's very believable in the sense that it is a world that could very likely be real in 20 years. I haven't seen the movie yet and I'll probably submit a review for it here too when I do, but I'll definitely recommend the book.
