Ready player 1 is a book about a socially (face-to-face) inept adolescent boy whose life revolves around a virtual simulation in the year 2050, as well as a hunt For the creator's immense fortune in this giant MMORPG-esque simulation known as the OASIS.
His life is the hunt, but the creator (Halliday) was obsessed with 90's culture. The hunt, therefore, revolves around this culture Halliday grew up in. A "gunter" (the name of the hunters for this vast fortune) must memorize loads of 90's trivia involving movies, songs, and most importantly, video games. The creator has an almanac, and Wade (the aforementioned boy), treats it as his holy grail. After 5 years of no gunter making any progress, Wade is the first. What ensues is a hunt with higher stakes than would be imagined for a video game contest. His life or death.
