Електронна книга «Ready Player One (Першому гравцеві приготуватися мовою оригіналу, англійською)» Ернест Клайн

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.

"The pure, unfettered brain scream of a child of the 80s, like a dream my 13-year-old self would have had after bingeing on Pop Rocks and Coke… I couldn’t put it down."  -  Charles Ardai, Edgar Award-winning author

It's the year 2044, and the real world is an ugly place. A world at stake. A quest for the ultimate prize. Are you ready? The only time Wade Watts really feels alive is when he’s jacked into the OASIS, a vast virtual world where most of humanity spends their days. When the eccentric creator of the OASIS dies, he leaves behind a series of fiendish puzzles, based on his obsession with the pop culture of decades past. Whoever is first to solve them will inherit his vast fortune — and control of the OASIS itself.  Then Wade cracks the first clue. Suddenly he’s beset by rivals who’ll kill to take this prize. The race is on — and the only way to survive is to win. 

“Ridiculously fun and large-hearted... Cline is that rare writer who can translate his own dorky enthusiasms into prose that’s both hilarious and compassionate.”  -  NPR
