It's the year 2044 and the world has drastically gone down hill. Most people escape to a virtual reality world known as OASIS, and our main character Wade Watts is no different. OASIS is basically his childhood, his home. He has most of his memories in OASIS, including ones of his late mother. OASIS was created by James Halliday, who dies and in his death leaves an egg hunt inside the program with a large sum of money waiting for someone to crack the riddles. Wade dreams to win the prize and use the money to get himself and the people he cares about safely away from the wreck that is Earth.
