Ready Player One

Ready Player One is a highly entertaining debut novel, which makes excellent use of 80's pop culture and MMO experience in an Earth that is in environmental and societal decline. The beginning is a little bit too bleak and full of existential dread for me, but the story soon picks up as the dangerous puzzle quest that Wade has made his life's goal starts to get underway. The story is pretty straightforward, featuring Wade and some of his enthusiast friends squaring off against an evil corporation in the search for Halliday's Easter Egg. However, the pacing, the characters, and the storytelling ability that are on display here are really impressive, and make this one of the most fun books I've read so far this year!
