Synopsis of Ready Player One
In the 2040s, the world has been gripped by an energy crisis from the depletion of fossil fuels and the consequences of pollution, global warming and overpopulation, causing widespread social problems, poverty, and economic stagnation.
To escape the decline their world is facing, people turn to the OASIS, a virtual reality simulator accessible for free by players using visors and haptic technology such as gloves. It functions both as an MMORPG and as a virtual world where people can go to school, get a job or go shopping, with its currency being the most stable in the real world.
It was created by James Donovan Halliday, founder of Gregarious Simulation Systems (formerly Gregarious Games), who made a posthumous video of his will stating to the public that he had left an Easter egg inside the OASIS, and the first person to find it would inherit his entire fortune, ownership of his corporation as well as complete control of the OASIS itself, which is worth trillions.
The story follows the adventures of Wade Watts, starting about five years after the announcement, when he discovers one of the three keys which unlock three successive gates leading to the treasure.
