#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Now a major motion picture directed by Steven Spielberg. "Enchanting . . . Willy Wonka meets The Matrix."-USA Today • "As one adventure leads expertly to the next, time simply evaporates."-Entertainment Weekly A world at stake. A quest for the ultimate prize. Are you ready? In the year 2045, reality is an ugly place. The only time Wade Watts really feels alive is when he's jacked into the OASIS, a vast virtual world where most of humanity spends their days. When the eccentric creator of the OASIS dies, he leaves behind a series of fiendish puzzles, based on his obsession with the pop culture of decades past. Whoever is first to solve them will inherit his vast fortune-and control of the OASIS itself. Then Wade cracks the first clue. Suddenly he's beset by rivals who'll kill to take this prize. The race is on-and the only way to survive is to win. NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY Entertainment Weekly • San Francisco Chronicle • Village Voice • Chicago Sun-Times • iO9 • The AV Club "Delightful . . . the grown-up's Harry Potter."-HuffPost "An addictive read . . . part intergalactic scavenger hunt, part romance, and all heart."-CNN "A most excellent ride . . . Cline stuffs his novel with a cornucopia of pop culture, as if to wink to the reader."-Boston Globe "Ridiculously fun and large-hearted . . . Cline is that rare writer who can translate his own dorky enthusiasms into prose that's both hilarious and compassionate."-NPR "[A] fantastic page-turner . . . starts out like a simple bit of fun and winds up feeling like a rich and plausible picture of future friendships in a world not too distant from our own."-iO9

Schnitzeljagd
auf den heiligen Gral
Wade Watts hat nicht viel zu verlieren im Leben. Der verwaiste Junge mit dem Superheldennamen ist ein Niemand. Ein Glück, dass es das Multiplayer Onlinespiel OASIS gibt. Im Jahr 2044 ist die Weltgesellschaft an ihrem Tiefpunkt angekommen und OASIS ihr dystopisches Refugium, ihr digitaler Neustart. In seinem Debütroman „Ready Player One“ aus dem Jahre 2010 stellt der amerikanische Schriftsteller und Drehbuchautor Ernest Cline, Jahrgang 1972, die Online-Community vor drei Geheimnisse. Wer diese zuerst löst, wird Erbe des Multimilliardärs und OASIS-Gründers James Halliday. Die virtuelle Schnitzeljagd auf den heiligen Gral ist eröffnet, und Wade und sein Avatar Parzival sind mittendrin. Der Schlüssel: Die Popkultur der Achtzigerjahre, denn OASIS ist ein Mega-Mashup aus allen Universen und Medien, die das Fanherz begehrt: Mittelerde, Vulkan, Scheibenwelt. Duran Duran trifft „Dungeons and Dragons“. „Ready Player One“ ist eine charmante Liebeserklärung an das Fandom, an die Freaks und Geeks, die immer hoffen, mit vermeintlich nutzlosem Trivia-Wissen irgendwann den Kampf ihres Lebens ausfechten zu können.

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 byBlade Runner, and flying DeLoreans achieve light speed Justin Trudeau Independent
