#178. Ready Player One by Ernest Cline

Title:	Ready Player One
Author:	Ernest Cline
Genre:	Science Fiction/Future
Synopsis:	In a future lived primarily online due to the state of the real world, people compete to win an inheritance left behind by one of the creators of their online environment. To win the contestants must follow clues left behind by the pop culture obsessed creator and they are competing not only against each other but by an army of corporate employees who would use the power afforded them by winning to ruin the virtual world for everyone.
Verdict:	An absolutely fantastic read. The high quality of world building for both the real world and the virtual one make this a richly detailed and engaging book. The characters flaws and strengths feel organic and the pop culture references and nods to people of today are excellent fun.
