Ready Player One / Ernest Cline / 374 pgs.

"It's the year 2044, and the real world is an ugly place. Like most of humanity, Wade Watts escapes his grim surroundings by spending his waking hours jacked into the OASIS--a sprawling virtual utopia that lets you be anything you want to be. Wade dreams of being the one to discover the ultimate lottery ticket that lies concealed within this virtual world. OASIS creator James Halliday has hidden a series of fiendish puzzles that will yield massive fortune--and remarkable power--to whoever can unlock them. ... And then, Wade stumbles upon the first puzzle"--Container.

I Loved...LOVED this book!  It's as Nerdy as it gets, and with the Audio version being read by Wil Wheaton I was in fanboy Nirvana!  If you remember the 80's or enjoy gamer culture then you will "get" the inside jokes and references laced throughout the book. If you don't like long-winded, back and forth descriptions of the intricacies of limited edition DVD releases of some cult B movie; then you may want to pass on this book. For the rest of you, GAME ON!
