Ready Player One
We are proud to announce that the common book for 2013 is Ready Player One by Ernest Cline. This book takes place in a not so distant future, where resources are scarce and
life for most is pretty grim. People around the world plug into the OASIS, an open
source virtual reality, to live, learn, and play.
When the creator of the OASIS dies, it is revealed that he has hidden three keys throughout
the OASIS and the person to find them all will win millions of dollars and own controlling
stake in the company.
Five years after the creator’s death, the protagonist Wade discovers the first key,
which launches an international quest to find the others and own the OASIS.
