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. His aunt's trailer contains 15 people, including the Depperts and the Millers. Wade found his laptop 10 years ago in a trash bin and made it work by making some changes. Wade plays one of his most favorite games, Robotron: 2084. He further watches Family Ties, one of the shows mentioned in Anorak's Almanac. Wade has memorized the book and made a habit of watching and reading anything mentioned in it. Wade was the sole child of two refugee teenagers. His father was killed when Wade was only some months old. Wade's mother, Loretta, raised him alone. Loretta had two OASIS jobs and this is why Wade became familiar with OASIS at a young age.
