This book made me feel old and geeky because I got most of the cultural references to the 1980's and videogames. Burgertime! I loved that handheld videogame! Wade has no real life, but, like most other humans, he lives a better life in OASIS, a virtual reality world. Originally created for gaming, OASIS is now how most people on Earth work, love, and play. When the creater of OASIS dies, a treasure hunt ensues. Wade has nothing else to live for and accepts the challenge. All the guntars immerse themselves in 1980s culture and anything else the creator of OASIS loved as a boy. Along the way, Wade makes virtual friends, falls in love, and eventually learns to live in real life, too.
Why is this book awesome? It's about gaming but isn't just for gaming. It's action-packed, suspenseful, and has some KA female characters.
