      Summary of Ready Player One

      The novel starts with Wade Watts, the narrator and central character of the book, remembering the death of James Halliday, designer of the videogame OASIS. In his parting message, Anorak's Invitation, Halliday left a game for the world to play, called The Hunt, and indicated that whoever solved the game would get his fortune. The game focused on finding an Easter egg hidden by Halliday. His book, Anorak’s Almanac, is a really important text to gain insight into Halliday’s mind and assist with the game. During the first year after Halliday’s death, people were obsessed with the game but the fever eventually died since no one was able to find anything for a long time. After five years, in February 2045, the Copper Key (a really important key in the Hunt) was found by then 18-year-old Wade.

      The novel goes back to the time before Wade found the key. Wade Watts sleeps in the laundry room of his aunt’s trailer, which is the only clean part of the trailer.
