That is a matter of perspective since written medium is often different than film. However, the book is accurate to the 1980's, which is where the pop culture is set and the focus of the Easter Egg contest. You get a lot more background to the time the book is set, which is the near future, and how global warming and conflicts have made the world a miserable place to exist. Hence a lot of the worlds population now lives in the Oasis.In the film a lot of the gates are set in visual medium (e.g. the race at the beginning of the film), which is probably sensible since film is more visual. Whereas in the book, you are left to interpret the environment yourself, and for anyone who lived through the 1980's this will be a trip down memory lane. For younger audiences who have never experienced the games we had in the 1970's/1980's, it is a lesson in the history of gaming and what we had in this time.Overall, I think this book is brilliant and a good prediction of what the Metaverse will become under the stewardship of companies like Facebook/Meta and the other big IT companies (e.g. Microsoft, Apple, Amazon). It will be interesting to come back to this book in 20 years time (roughly the time this book is set) and see how accurate it is. I am guessing spot on. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A maze ing *by M***E on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 21 August 2022* What a fabulous amazing book that is full of thrill and adventure as it had me on the edge of my seat ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Really enjoyed this! *by T***R on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 13 January 2021* I read this five years ago and decided right away that it was one of my all-time favourite books. When I saw that a sequel had been released, I decided to re-read this to avoid any confusion when reading book two. Unfortunately, I didn't enjoy it so much the second time. It's still a brilliant book, and one of the best in the genre, but I don't think it's as good as I thought it was back in 2016.It's the year 2044, and the real world has become a hideous place. Most people spend the majority of their time inside the OASIS, a virtual utopia where you can be anyone or anything you want to be. Wade Watts is one such person who does this, and he quickly becomes obsessed with the ultimate lottery ticket that lies within the alternative reality. The original founder has died with no heir and promised that control of the OASIS, along with his massive fortune, will go to the person who can solve the extremely difficult riddles he left. Unfortunately for Wade, thousands of people around the world are desperate to do so, and he quickly discovers that some will stop at nothing in order to succeed...When I read this book for the first time, I loved the setting. I loved how developed the OASIS was and the constant references to 1980s pop culture. When reading for the second time, I didn't love the setting quite so much, but still thought it was really interesting. There were so much 80s throwbacks that at times, it felt a little too much. The plot was also a bit silly sometimes... Wade very conveniently knew almost every 80s movie word for word, and knew the lyrics to almost every song from the era. It just seemed too convenient. I don't think the book as a whole has aged brilliantly; once or twice, there are a few words and slurs used that are extremely outdated, and, given how far we've come in the past few years, you can tell right away that the book was written ten years ago. The writing style was quite weird, but given the geeky nature of the story, I thought it worked quite well.I liked the majority of the characters. Wade was a strong lead and I really wanted him to win against IOI, but like I said, his knowledge of 80s pop culture just seemed far too convenient. The same could be said for the other characters, like Art3mis and Aech. Because Wade had only met these two characters inside the OASIS, we don't get to see their true selves until the end of the book. I really liked this, as I think it gave the reader a valuable lesson about talking to strangers online. I liked the villains too, but don't think they seemed that threatening. They only ever come into contact with Wade inside the OASIS, and never in real-life.Although I think this book does have several issues that I didn't pick up whilst reading the first time, it's still a really good novel, and I'm looking forward to reading the second one!8/10. ## Frequently Bought Together - Ready Player One - Ready Player Two: The highly anticipated sequel to READY PLAYER ONE --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ae/products/55809889-ready-player-one](https://www.desertcart.ae/products/55809889-ready-player-one) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Arab Emirates* *Store origin: AE* *Last updated: 2026-04-26*
