A Land Far Away

Ready Player One by Ernest Cline.

I was given this book by a freind over the weekend and am only 80 pages in but I swear..

Every ALFAn will love and must read this book!

The plot centers around the last will and testmenent of mega-billionaire inventor James Halliday set in the year 2044. Halliday was “the video-game designer responsible for creating the OASIS, a massively multiplayer online game that had gradually evolved into the globally networked virtual reality most of humanity now used on a daily basis." Halliday has decided to leave all his real life money to an OASIS player and left clues to his vast fortune within OASIS. His well-known eccentric obsession and encyclopedic knowledge of the 1980s have led players within the OASIS to study the 80's pop-culture to extreme detail in hopes of finding the treasure in-game.

I won't say too much more but ...... wow! Give it a read!

I'll get it for my Kindle.

I started reading it yesterday evening and it's really good so far.

Thanks for the recommendation DD.

Which books would I have to read before?

None. It's self contained.

Glad you like it. For me, a gamer "of a certain age" it was like reading cotton candy. I tore it through it happily.

Lemme know when the movie comes out.
