书籍简介：

At once wildly original and stuffed with irresistible nostalgia, READY PLAYER ONE is a spectacularly genre-busting, ambitious, and charming debut—part quest novel, part love story, and part virtual space opera set in a universe where spell-slinging mages battle giant Japanese robots, entire planets are inspired by Blade Runner , and flying DeLoreans achieve light speed. It’s the year 2044, and the real world is an ugly place. Like most of humanity, Wade Watts escapes his grim surroundings by spending his waking hours jacked into the OASIS, a sprawling virtual utopia that lets you be anything you want to be, a place where you can live and play and fall in love on any of ten thousand planets. And like most of humanity, Wade dreams of being the one to discover the ultimate lottery ticket that lies concealed within this virtual world.For somewhere inside this giant networked playground, OASIS creator James Halliday has hidden a series of fiendish puzzles that will yield massive fortune—and remarkable power—to whoever can unlock them. For years, millions have struggled fruitlessly to attain this prize, knowing only that Halliday’s riddles are based in the pop culture he loved—that of the late twentieth century.And for years, millions have found in this quest another means of escape, retreating into happy, obsessive study of Halliday’s icons. Like many of his contemporaries, Wade is as comfortable debating the finer points of John Hughes’s oeuvre, playing Pac-Man, or reciting Devo lyrics as he is scrounging power to run his OASIS rig. And then Wade stumbles upon the first puzzle. Suddenly the whole world is watching, and thousands of competitors join the hunt—among them certain powerful players who are willing to commit very real murder to beat Wade to this prize. Now the only way for Wade to survive and preserve everything he knows is to win . But to do so, he may have to leave behind his oh-so-perfect virtual existence and face up to life—and love—in the real world he’s always been so desperate to escape. A world at stake. A quest for the ultimate prize. Are you ready?

书友短评：

@ 冰糖木耳 一封给80年代流行文化&电子游戏史的情书。前者（尤其是对约翰·休斯的无上限崇拜）非常命中我心，后者则算是先前意外巧合地做过一把功课。导致整个阅读过程精神同步率达到80%以上，奇迹般流畅。情怀满溢之外，是“近”到无法察觉的近未来，甚至可以说就是近十年内可以达成的愿景。更深刻地理解为何此书Oculus员工人手一本，简直就是整个VR行业的未来蓝图。此外，作者选择了一个传统的对比，即VR世界的繁华对应着现实世界的颓败，属老生常谈。（这一点我倒觉得可以向弗洛文奇取取经，毕竟VR和AR不分家，并不是每个现实都得如此无趣。）在我这之所以不够高分的原因，大概还是宅得太过分而且很负面，耻度太高。酷劲儿完全抵不上尼尔斯蒂芬森。离“圣经”二字尚有距离。斯皮尔伯格的改编想必会很YA向吧。 @ 姬长安 小说很暗黑系，大东还被IOI杀了，Wade在网络被萨曼莎拉黑然后就网络跟踪狂，团队协作的篇幅也不多，大家是合作又是竞争的关系，全文最后一句话是I had absolutely no desire to log back into OASIS。好丧。我还是挺喜欢斯皮尔伯格对友情爱情的美好展望，好好关掉网络来到现实多跟你的妹子耍耍多好。 @ 阿蒙 几年前看的小说了，拍案叫绝，和电影不分伯仲 @ HowTalentedIAm 【拾遗】硬核游戏史。故事本身就比较cliche啦… @ HydeCat 看完这本书更佩服斯皮尔伯格和电影的编剧了，小说写的真的是平平无奇。很多地方的逻辑都有明显漏洞，结局也给人一种不清不楚的感觉。 @ Absolute ZoeY 啊很难想象这本烂书竟然花了我几个月的时间啊啊啊啊啊 @ zhifeige 是对VR的科幻，但少了对AI的想象力
