BOOK MOVIE The year is 2044 and the real world, well, you could say it's fallen apart. Along with most of the rest of the world, teenager Wade (Parzival) Watts spends most of his time in the OASIS - the virtual world that has taken the place of the misery found in the real world as society has collapsed. But when Wade finds the long sought first clue to a hidden game of easter eggs planted in the OASIS by its creator, he's thrust into a dangerous plot with stakes literally holding the real world in the balance.
