Synopsis
It is the year 2044 and the world is a disaster. Fossil energy sources are practically depleted and the price of fuel is high. In the midst of a huge depression worldwide most people subsist as best they can. However, a virtual reality video game called OASIS provides the escape route that people need. People dedicate more time to the game than to real life itself. The game offers all imaginable possibilities and anything is possible.
The creator of OASIS is a huge fan of the 1980s, as well as a fantastic video game programmer who amasses an immense fortune with his company GSS, whose masterpiece is OASIS. After his death announces in a video that the game contains an easter egg. Whoever finds him will inherit all his fortune.
The time passes until, after five years, Wade Watts, who decides like so many others to launch the race to find the Easter Egg, suddenly manages to solve one of the puzzles that brings him closer to his goal.
The competition is fierce among the Sixers, the employees of a company called IOI that seeks to gain control of OASIS, and the Gunters, all other people, either individually or in clans.
Thus begins a frantic race in which the only solution to survive is to win.
