内容简介
······
At once wildly original and stuffed with irresistible nostalgia, READY PLAYER ONE is a spectacularly genre-busting, ambitious, and charming debut—part quest novel, part love story, and part virtual space opera set in a universe where spell-slinging mages battle giant Japanese robots, entire planets are inspired by Blade Runner , and flying DeLoreans achieve light speed.
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, a place where you can live and play and fall in love on any of ten thousand planets.
And like most of humanity, Wade dreams of being the one to discover the ultimate lottery ticket that lies concealed within this virtual world.For somewhere inside this giant networked playground, OASIS creator James Halliday has hidden a series of fiendish puzzles that will yield massive fortune—and remarkable power—to whoever can unlock them.
For years, millions have struggled fruitlessly to attain this prize, knowing only that Halliday’s riddles are based in the pop culture he loved—that of the late twentieth century.And for years, millions have found in this quest another means of escape, retreating into happy, obsessive study of Halliday’s icons. Like many of his contemporaries, Wade is as comfortable debating the finer points of John Hughes’s oeuvre, playing Pac-Man, or reciting Devo lyrics as he is scrounging power to run his OASIS rig.
And then Wade stumbles upon the first puzzle.
Suddenly the whole world is watching, and thousands of competitors join the hunt—among them certain powerful players who are willing to commit very real murder to beat Wade to this prize. Now the only way for Wade to survive and preserve everything he knows is to win . But to do so, he may have to leave behind his oh-so-perfect virtual existence and face up to life—and love—in the real world he’s always been so desperate to escape.
A world at stake.
A quest for the ultimate prize.
Are you ready?

豆瓣應該開發一個聽過的選項，audiobook的標準跟看的書還是不一樣，有些很傻的劇情開車時聽還是挺爽
Will Wheaton读这个可太合适了，sooooooo geeky~大多数梗其实我并get不到，剧情很中二，但还是听得很high，本来想在车上边听边doze off一会儿结果听奥特曼打哥斯拉听得热血沸腾~比电影版暗黑很多其实，每个人物的背景设定都有点意思，Aech yyds！
宅男的看家本领应该就是意淫了吧。这本书说好听点儿是“Harry Potter”的sci－fi版，说难听点儿，整个一个michael scott的剧本。写作水平低劣，给一星儿。意淫水平加2星儿。
中文翻译看着有点像字幕组的感觉，反正就是一本爽文，没有太多共鸣，看了个开头，感觉电影相当棒了……书里其实没有很多细节描写。
