Hello Everyone!

In the year 2044, reality is an ugly place. The only time teenage Wade Watts really feels alive is when he’s jacked into the virtual utopia known as the OASIS. Wade’s devoted his life to studying the puzzles hidden within this world’s digital confines—puzzles that are based on their creator’s obsession with the pop culture of decades past and that promise massive power and fortune to whoever can unlock them.
But when Wade stumbles upon the first clue, he finds himself beset by players willing to kill to take this ultimate prize. The race is on, and if Wade’s going to survive, he’ll have to win—and confront the real world he’s always been so desperate to escape.

So I know this book has been out for some time, but I never took the time to pay attention to it until I got it in this months LootCrate. That being said I find it amazing. As someone who has been playing games since near birth and playing MMOs since UO I found it very easy to pickup and understand. I really like the amount of description that Earnest Cline uses when talking about the OASIS and gaming in general.

What are your thoughts and feelings on the book?

It’s a must-read for anyone interested in VR.

I thought it was easy to read and incredibly enjoyable.

Really glad to hear it’s being distributed in loot crates.

Agreed. I think my favorite thing about the book is that this guy who is widely celebrated in the book was a Gamer and Game Developer and a geek at heart
