Ready Player One You do not have to be a gamer, techie or lived in the 80's to enjoy this book but if you fit one of the above categories you will really enjoy this book! Imagine the Earth is really a crummy place - you are dirt poor, your parents are dead and you are living in a highrise made up of mobile homes . Everyone is online and doing as much as they can in virtual reality. School is online, you know your friends by their avatars and you play video games to pass your days. The "Steve Jobs" of reality games has passed away several years earlier leaving his billions hidden in a video game. You decide that this is your ticket to a better life and you begin playing to win.
To win you must have a working knowledge of every TV show, every song,every video game or cultural reference to the 80's. Now you must do this while running from your life from the big bad gaming company who feels that they were wronged and should be getting this money. It is a fun trip down memory lane for those of us who were around in the 80's and an edge of your seat thriller for everyone. A perfect recommendation for gaming teens and their parents!
